Patient's question:
The child is four years old and has a fever. Yesterday, the temperature reached 38.8. They received a small injection, and this morning, it was 37.7 with another small injection. By noon, the temperature rose to 39.3. A blood test showed normal white blood cell count, and the Mycoplasma pneumonia test was negative. Later, they took half a pack of fever-reducing granules, and after a while, the temperature dropped to 38.5. They took medicine again in the evening. It has been two hours since the injection, but the fever hasn't subsided. Now the temperature is back to 38.5. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, in this situation, the child has a fever with temperatures fluctuating between 38.5-39.3°C. The child's fever hasn't subsided despite medication, and the temperature remains between 38.5-39.3°C. In this case, you can take Cephalosporin antibiotics, use fever-reducing medication if the temperature drops below 38.5°C, and drink plenty of plain water.The above advice is for the question "My child is four years old and has a fever—yesterday it reached 38°C." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
