How to treat recurrent fever in children with pneumonia?

Patient's question:

My son had a cold, which then developed into pneumonia. He has been running a fever. Hello, how is recurrent fever in pediatric pneumonia treated?

Doctor's answer:

Child pneumonia is usually a result of incomplete treatment after an upper respiratory tract infection. The main symptoms of pneumonia include fever, cough, and phlegm. Treating pneumonia requires a process, primarily based on anti-infection, such as cephalosporins and penicillins. If mycoplasma infection is suspected, azithromycin and other medications can be considered. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, antipyretic drugs can be used. Pay attention to drinking more water and actively prevent colds.
