Patient's question:
Three-year-old girl, had a fever a week ago, took Xia'er Huangna Min Granules, cough syrup, and cefixime. By the third day, it improved. During the day and at night. On the fourth day, she caught a cold while taking a nap in the evening and had a fever. During the day, she was given antiviral oral liquid and fever-reducing medicine. On the sixth day, she had a fever while taking a nap. Her appetite and mental state were generally poor. In the evening, she had a fever with heavy sweating.Doctor's answer:
The baby previously had a fever and improved after taking medication. Later, due to catching a cold, the fever returned, indicating the condition is recurring. It has now been six days, with fever and heavy sweating during naps at night. At this point, medication is no longer advisable. It is important to monitor for bronchitis or bronchopneumonia and seek medical attention for a thorough examination. Blood tests, including a complete blood count and Mycoplasma antibody tests, should be conducted to identify the pathogen. Percussion of the lungs should be performed, and a chest X-ray may be necessary if needed. Treatment should be selected based on the results.
