Patient's question:
Son is one year older and got bronchopneumonia. He was treated in the municipal maternal and child hospital for seven days without any abnormalities. There were no symptoms at first, followed by fever. It has been four days now, and his temperature keeps getting higher, reaching 39.2°C. It still doesn’t go down. Can’t this go on like this? Will it delay the child’s condition? What are the common causes of pneumonia in children?Doctor's answer:
The recurring factors are that the child's immunity is very weak. After the bronchial pneumonia treatment, the condition recurred again. It is recommended to re-examine blood tests for Mycoplasma pneumoniae and chest X-rays. Currently, it is suggested to go to the local hospital for an echocardiogram to thoroughly examine the recurrent pneumonia. This is necessary to rule out the possibility of congenital heart disease. It is also recommended to do sputum culture to determine the sensitive antibiotics. Oral licorice preparation can be used for rescue. Active cooperation is needed, and attention should be paid to drinking plenty of warm water, using many anti-inflammatory drugs, and adding antiviral drugs.
