Patient's question:
A two-year-old child has a fever. They had a blood test yesterday, and since yesterday afternoon, they have started vomiting, though not very frequently. They are taking Qingre Jiedu Koufuye (a traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying), Cefixime, and Ibuprofen. The highest temperature reached 39.5°C. Do they need to undergo any further detailed examinations?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, the child has a fever without other accompanying symptoms, and blood tests show no infection. Please pay attention to whether there is constipation, dark yellow urine, or reduced urine output. This type of fever is mostly caused by infection. Since your check-up did not reveal any abnormalities, it may not have shown up yet. Please also consider whether it is related to pediatric food accumulation fever. If there is constipation or similar symptoms, it should be taken into account. At the same time, use physical methods to reduce fever and encourage the child to drink more warm water frequently.
