Patient's question:
A 9-month-old child had a fever 10 days ago, which was reduced with intravenous fluids. After three days, the fever returned, and it was lowered again with a Chinese medicine patch on the navel and foot baths. After another three days, the child developed low-grade fever. A blood test at the hospital showed everything was normal, and they were prescribed some antiviral medication. One day later, the child is now running a fever at 38°C again.What kind of help is needed: Hello, what is going on with this?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your baby's condition is considered to be recurrent episodes of fever, often caused by factors such as catching a cold or overexertion. The patient may experience varying degrees of nasal congestion, runny nose, decreased body temperature, and reduced appetite. It is recommended to conduct further detailed examinations and actively treat and prevent the condition.It is advised that you pay attention to your baby's warmth and avoid catching a cold. Drinking plenty of warm water and consuming more vegetables and fruits can be beneficial. You may also consider visiting the hospital for multiple tests, such as sputum bacterial culture, drug sensitivity tests, and Mycoplasma tests, to determine the nature of the inflammation. This will help in deciding appropriate treatment measures and avoiding blind medication, which could delay the condition. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
