Patient's question:
A child has had a fever for a week, with a high of 39.5. During the day, when they receive intravenous fluids, the fever drops to 38.5 in the afternoon. Blood glucose tests show high C-reactive protein levels, which should be below 3, but his current level is 33. What should be done in this situation?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, I speculate that this recurring fever in children may be due to symptoms caused by an infectious disease. Since it has been confirmed at the hospital as viral fever, timely symptomatic treatment is necessary.Suggestions: It is recommended to administer antipyretic medication for symptomatic treatment, such as: Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules. Additionally, herbs like Radix Isatidis and Qingre Ling can be taken. Rest and increased fluid intake should be maintained. If necessary, it is important to promptly visit the outpatient department of a local hospital for follow-up. Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriate antibiotics like Cefixime can be administered for symptomatic treatment.
