Patient's question:
My child is a boy and he is 7 years old. Recently, he has been acting strangely. Could you please advise on what to do about his recurrent fever after receiving intravenous fluids for herpangina?Doctor's answer:
It might be a viral infection, so even high-end antibiotics don't seem to be very effective. In this case, it's normal for the fever to last 3-5 days as long as the child is in good spirits. Symptomatic treatment is sufficient. Currently, some cold medicine should be taken three times a day, even when not feverish. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it's important to maintain a good mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
