Patient's question:
The boy started having a fever on November 12th. After a thorough examination, he was diagnosed with bronchopneumonia and received intravenous fluids for seven days. He then took medication at home for five days. On the evening of November 22nd, he started having a fever again, but his mental state was still okay and he wasn't coughing. On November 24th, a blood test and lung auscultation were performed, and the doctor recommended taking three days of cefixime. Now, the child has high fever every 5-6 hours, with the highest temperature reaching 40°C. When the fever subsides, he is given physical cooling and takes Tylenol. What should we do now?Doctor's answer:
The detailed blood test results of the child show bacterial infection, and the percentage of monocytes is also high. Considering the repeated occurrence of fever, it is recommended to check for mycoplasma antibodies to see if mycoplasma infection is the cause. Currently, the temperature remains between 39.0-40 degrees Celsius. It is possible to take Meilin orally, but it should not exceed four times within 24 hours. Herbal remedies such as Xiao'er Chai Gui Granules can also be taken, along with plenty of fluids. The above suggestions are for this issue. It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
