Patient's question:
My baby had a low fever of 39℃ on December 3rd and tested positive for bacterial infection via fingertip blood test. We took Cefixime, and the fever subsided on December 6th. We stopped the Cefixime and took cold medicine during that time. My baby had a runny nose and occasional cough. From December 6th to now, the baby has had high fever, with the highest temperature reaching 38.4℃. The past two days, the temperature has been around 37.4℃. The child has been in good spirits, eating dinner well. Do I need to test for mycoplasma?Doctor's answer:
Based on your purchase situation, it is inferred that the baby's body temperature has gradually returned to normal in the past two days, and the condition is showing signs of improvement. It is also necessary to consider clinical diagnostic symptoms. You can wait and see for two more days to see if the condition continues to improve, in which case there would be no need for tests. If the temperature remains low, you may consider testing for Mycoplasma and, based on the test results, administer macrolide-class drugs. The above advice is for the question "My baby had a low fever of 39℃ on December 3rd." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
