Patient's question:
2-year-old baby with pneumonia, received IV fluids for 7 days, then had a fever again after 5 days apart. Is it just inflammation? But now there's no cough, no cold, and no nasal discharge, just a fever.Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant,Hello, I’m glad to help you. The baby is in the recovery phase from pneumonia and hasn’t fully recovered when they develop a fever again. This suggests a recurrence of the illness, and it’s important to focus on oral medication for the baby, monitor their temperature frequently, and take fever-reducing medication promptly if it drops below 38.5°C.
This is the advice for the question "2-year-old baby with pneumonia, receiving IV fluids for 7 days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
