Patient's question:
Yesterday I had a runny nose, coughed, and hiccuped, and wasn't feeling well. I took anti-inflammatory medicine, Mucolytic and Cough Granules, and Aminophenylbutazone and Chlorpheniramine Granules, but they didn't seem to work. Today it got worse, and I have a high fever of 39 degrees, and I'm still not feeling well.Previous treatment and effectiveness:
1. I went to the hospital again and got more medicine (Bupivacaine and Phenylephrine Dispersible Tablets and An'ering Granules) and had an IV drip. I felt a bit better at night.
2. I still need to have an IV drip tomorrow. What kind of assistance do you need?
Assistance needed:
1. It seems like you might need an IV drip in this situation. I don’t want to give the baby too many IV drips because she had a sore throat and had an IV drip for two days last week. I’m afraid the IV drip might affect her.
2. If not, do you have any other good suggestions? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Based on your child's symptoms, it is likely that the fever was caused by a viral infection, followed by a bacterial infection that then softened the symptoms.Medical Advice: For this condition, intravenous treatment for 3 to 5 days is necessary for full recovery. It is important to focus on the intravenous treatment and ensure that there are fever-reducing medications at home. If the child develops a high fever at night, it is essential to lower the temperature promptly. Otherwise, other severe complications may arise, making treatment more difficult. For example, Nimesulide granules are very effective for fever reduction.
