Patient's question:
My child has a high fever of 40 degrees and has received a fever-reducing injection. It has improved, but now it has turned into a low fever. He has a history of nephrotic syndrome. Please help me understand the reason.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, based on the information you provided, it is believed that the low-grade fever is caused by excessive use of antipyretic drugs. A cold can also worsen kidney disease because patients with kidney disease often need to take hormones like prednisone. Hormones can weaken the child's immune system, making them more susceptible to colds. Most patients also take immune-boosting medications to prevent the child from catching a cold.Suggestions: Currently, the focus should be on maintaining warmth, continuing treatment for kidney disease and the cold.
