Patient's question:
Now there is a particularly tricky problem I would like to consult about. The child has bronchitis with high fever that won't go down. What treatment should we follow in this situation? It has been 4 days now, and the temperature has been consistently between 38°C and 38.5°C. The child has never had this kind of situation before. Please provide some clarification from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Regarding the issue of high fever not subsiding in children with bronchitis, as you mentioned, the first principle of treatment is to use the right antibiotics. Only by using the right antibiotics and controlling the basic bacterial infection can we prevent fever. Without inflammation, there would be no fever. The focus of treatment should not be on fever reduction but on addressing the fundamental cause, which is the correct approach. Of course, when the temperature is very high, it is appropriate to use antipyretic drugs. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits and maintain a regular sleep schedule.
