Patient's question:
Daughter had a sinus infection and otitis media a few weeks ago and took antibiotics for more than two and a half months. After she recovered, she had bronchitis and a fever for two days and took Ceftriaxone for two days. When she received the third dose of Ceftriaxone, she immediately went through the hospital admission procedures. At that time, her fever was 38.4 degrees. The doctor then administered 6 milligrams of Dexamethasone and Meropenem/Sulbactam. After that, her daughter's temperature rose, and she received Meropenem/Sulbactam for five consecutive days. During those five days, her temperature remained low and was often below 35 degrees, accompanied by sweating. After stopping the antibiotics, her sweating increased, but her temperature did not decrease significantly. Her nighttime temperature was often between 35-36 degrees, and her daytime temperature was between 36-36.5 degrees. She is still young, and we are very worried about potential aftereffects. We sincerely ask everyone to speculate on the possible reasons and whether she will recover. Tests,Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it appears that the child's hypothermia is caused by excessive use of corticosteroids or insufficient warmth. This can be restored to normal, but certain treatments need to be implemented for the child. The urinalysis and the reappearance of ketones may be due to false positives caused by the child's use of antibiotics or hunger ketones caused by insufficient diet. It is now recommended that you pay attention to providing warmth for the child and give them a high-energy diet. Herbal decoctions can be administered when necessary, and the effect is also good. It is hoped that this can help you.
