Patient's question:
Female, 2 years old. A few days ago, she was hospitalized for asthma treatment for 7 days, and intravenous medication included Azithromycin and Asiasarin. The day before yesterday, she suddenly developed a high fever of 39°C. After receiving 3mg of Dexamethasone intramuscularly, her temperature dropped to 37°C, and it has remained at this level ever since. She has taken Qingkailing Granules orally three times. Except for the fever, she has no other symptoms! What is going on??Doctor's answer:
Low-grade fever is generally seen in viral infections, primarily affecting infants and young children. It is more common in throat infections with no systemic symptoms. Routine examinations usually show no significant abnormalities, and there are no respiratory symptoms. The low-grade fever may persist for a long time. In older children with streptococcal or Staphylococcus aureus throat infections, a prolonged low-grade fever may also occur. A throat culture can be performed, and if bacteria are found, it can confirm the diagnosis.
