Patient's question:
The child is now eight years old, but recently he has had a fever that doesn't seem to go away. He has been receiving intravenous fluids and medication. He feels better right after the infusion, but the effect doesn't last long. What should we do?Medical history and treatment effectiveness: He had a pneumonia caused by mycoplasma infection a while ago.
What kind of help do you need: I want to know if there are any other diseases that could cause a persistent fever.
Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify your doubts. There are many reasons for fever, but it is mainly caused by infections from pathogenic microorganisms. It is incorrect and unscientific to blindly use antibiotics, as this can lead to drug resistance in pathogens and easily disrupt the balance of the body's flora, resulting in adverse consequences. I recommend that you revisit the hospital for a blood test, blood culture, and drug sensitivity test to confirm the pathogen and the most sensitive medication. If the correct medication is used, full recovery can often be achieved within a few months. I hope my clarification is helpful to you. The above suggestions are for the question "My child is now 8 years old and has been having a fever that doesn't go away recently." I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
