My child has had a fever on and off for four or five days, what should I do?

Patient's question:

My child has had intermittent fever for four or five days, and the coughing is also severe. When I went to the hospital for a blood test, the doctor said everything was fine except for one item that was slightly elevated. They then took a chest X-ray, which showed some spot shadows in the lungs, and diagnosed it as mild bronchopneumonia. We were prepared to be admitted to the hospital for a drip on the third day, but that evening the fever symptoms improved, and the coughing also subsided. In this situation, do we still need to have the drip? (Because the child is too mischievous and doesn’t inhale the mist, the drip is simply unimaginable in that scenario.)

Doctor's answer:

Baby, in this situation, as long as the cough improves and the temperature returns to normal, it is a sign that the baby is getting better. You can start taking oral medication and carefully observe for three days. At the same time, it is essential to enhance care, encouraging the baby to drink more water, and coordinate the use of Qingfei Liangxue Granules. If the treatment shows poor results after three days, it is recommended that you consider either inhaling through a nebulizer or hospitalization for treatment. The above advice is for the question "My child has had intermittent fever for four or five days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
