Patient's question:
Three days ago, I received an intravenous drip with Cephalosporin, which was for a low-grade fever of 39°C. This time, the fever is higher, and I haven't taken any fever-reducing medication. I've been taking Azithromycin. The child says they have a stomachache but no sore throat and have phlegm.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Medication works, but oral medication leads to fever recurrence every 6 hours.
What kind of help is desired: What can be taken to prevent constant high fever? What are the side effects of constantly having high fever and receiving targeted treatments on the body?
Doctor's answer:
Bronchopneumonia is one of the main common diseases in infants and young children, occurring throughout the four seasons, with the highest incidence during winter and spring or during climate changes. It severely interferes with the health of infants and young children and can even affect the soul. The onset is abrupt, with irregular high fever, cough, initially mild coughing, followed by phlegm, increased respiratory rate, shortness of breath, and possible loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and dry coughing. In severe cases, it can lead to low-grade fever that does not subside, bluish lips and mouth, cyanosis, significant choking and poisoning symptoms, and even respiratory or cardiac failure.Medical Advice: It is recommended to undergo anti-inflammatory and lung-cleansing treatments, such as cooling the blood. Monitor temperature data closely.
