Patient's question:
The two weeks my daughter couldn't recover. The day before yesterday, she felt like she had a high fever. At 37.5°C, I gave her some fever-reducing medicine. She kept having diarrhea. The day before yesterday, her fever dropped to 39.5°C. Yesterday, her fever came down, but she kept taking naps and didn't have much energy. I don't know what's wrong.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Given fever-reducing medicine. The kind of assistance you need: She's been lacking energy.
Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of a child's fever is infection, with a temperature lasting less than 48 hours, or recurring symptoms such as dry cough and vomiting, lethargy, and others. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a urine test to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection. Based on the results of the urine test, medication should be administered according to the symptoms. Additionally, the doctor should perform lung percussion or take a chest X-ray to check for pneumonia. If the fever lasts for a long time, it is important to be alert to the possibility of EB virus infection. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, it is advisable to follow a light diet and avoid greasy, stimulating, or spicy foods.
