What should I do if my baby has pneumonia with high fever that won't go down?

Patient's question:

3 and a half weeks, boy. A few days ago, the child had a cough and was diagnosed with pneumonia. After receiving fluids for several days, he recovered. Today, for some reason, he had a fever during dinner, measuring 38.5 degrees. He doesn't have a cold or cough. His temperature is still 38.5 degrees now. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, baby, this is a relatively serious respiratory infection that requires timely medication for symptomatic treatment. If Mycoplasma infection occurs, you can treat it according to the above methods. Generally, azithromycin can be used to treat Mycoplasma infection. After 3-4 days of infusion, oral medication can be used for treatment. At the same time, more attention should be paid to the baby's condition. If the baby's symptoms are severe, hospitalization is recommended.
