Patient's question:
Doctor. My baby suddenly had a fever of 40 degrees? When he returned to the hospital, it was 39.5 degrees. The doctor asked him to get a blood test and reviewed the results, saying it was a viral infection. Doctor, can you help me take a look at the urine test results? What virus is it? He said my son has a viral infection.Doctor's answer:
From your description, considering the baby's current condition with normal white blood cell count in the blood test, there is a possibility of viral infection, but it cannot be confirmed which virus it is. Further attention should be paid to the possibility of mycoplasma infection. If the baby has a fever for more than three days, it is recommended to check for mycoplasma antibodies, as the time it takes for the body to produce antibodies after mycoplasma infection is much longer. For the baby's fever, physical cooling and alternating with antipyretic drugs can be used to reduce fever, and it is important to drink plenty of warm water.
