Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a low fever and went to the hospital for two days of intravenous drip treatment. On the third day, when the fever didn't go down, I noticed that my baby's right knee was swollen and painful. I went to the pediatrician again and took medicine to reduce the fever. But these past few days, besides the pain making it hard for the baby to walk and cry, what can help relieve the baby's leg pain? What else should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition should be affected by the contagion, reaching the knee joint, leading to inflammation in the knee joint and even possibly purulent changes. Since the child is still very young, the connections between different systems are significant, so an infection in one system can cause symptoms in all systems, potentially involving the entire body.Advice: It is recommended that parents do not worry too much. The swelling in the child's knee joint is likely caused by the same pathogen that led to the fever. Therefore, the antibiotic treatment prescribed by the doctor should be sufficient to control the infection.
