Patient's question:
At the beginning of the month, I had bronchopneumonia and was hospitalized for about ten days, discharged on the 11th. Upon returning home, I took antibiotics for three days. On the third night, I had a fever and went to the hospital, where it was diagnosed as a sore throat. I took pediatric Golden Qiao and antibiotics at home, and the fever subsided within two days, with no other symptoms. Yesterday, on the 23rd morning, I started coughing, and by evening, I had a fever of 38.6°C. I took fever-reducing medication, which lowered the fever, but it rose to 39°C that night and reached 41°C in the morning.Doctor's answer:
The baby got pneumonia at the beginning of the month. Although the treatment took longer, it recovered on its own. Yesterday, coughing and fever reappeared, with a highest temperature of 41 degrees Celsius. Blood tests showed low white blood cell count and normal C-reactive protein, indicating a viral infection. The baby can take Oseltamivir granules for antiviral treatment, Antiviral Oral Liquid for clearing heat and detoxifying, and Phlegm-Expelling Syrup for clearing the lungs. It is important to drink plenty of water. If the temperature rises above 38.5 degrees Celsius, the baby can take ibuprofen for fever reduction.
