Patient's question:
Last month, the child had another fever, reaching 39.5 degrees Celsius. Due to the delay in detection at school, it developed into meningitis. The child stayed in the hospital for a week and was discharged after everything returned to normal. The doctor advised to pay attention to diet after returning home. Yesterday, the child had another fever. How should we handle the recurrence of fever after meningitis treatment?Doctor's answer:
The child has a fever again, which requires careful observation to check for signs of a cold or inflammation. Currently, it is unclear if the child has any other symptoms, and it may still be necessary to go to the hospital for re-examination. During this period, pay attention to preventing colds, drink more water, eat a light diet, and you can appropriately use many fever-reducing medications to lower the fever. It is necessary to consult the child's attending doctor based on the detailed examination results.
