How long does it take to get an intravenous drip for a cold and fever?

Patient's question:

The child has a fever due to a cold, with a temperature of 38.6 degrees. Her head is so hot, and her face is still red. I gave her fever-reducing medicine, but it hasn't had any effect at all. I want to take her for an intravenous drip. How much does it cost for one session?

Doctor's answer:

Different cold symptoms result in different charges when receiving intravenous drips, as different medications are required, and each medication has a different cost. If there is an inflammatory infection, ceftriaxone needs to be added. If it is a viral infection, ganciclovir is needed. Glucose also needs to be added, so the charges for each person are different. Additionally, the time required for intravenous drips varies. Some people may experience hand swelling if the drip is administered too quickly.
