Patient's question:
The baby is 3 years and 2 months old. On February 16th, they had acute upper respiratory infection with a fever of 39 degrees. In the afternoon, they took the fever-reducing medicine prescribed by the doctor, ibuprofen, and the fever dropped below 36 degrees. On the 17th, they didn't have a fever and took children's cold medicine. On the 18th and 19th, they had low-grade fever. On the 20th, they went to the hospital, and the doctor prescribed an IV drip with ceftriaxone and vitamin C injections. In the afternoon of the same day, they had a fever of 38.6 degrees and took ibuprofen to reduce the fever, which dropped to 36.1 degrees, and then to 35 degrees at night. Starting from the 21st, they have had low body temperature, sometimes with no change on the thermometer and not reaching 35 degrees. Today, the blood test showed low neutrophils, as seen on the test results. It's unclear whether the low body temperature is due to the low neutrophils or the fever-reducing medicine they took.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be a general qi deficiency, referring to symptoms such as physical weakness, pale complexion, shortness of breath, fatigue in limbs, dizziness, sweating easily with exertion, and a low voice. This includes the deficiency of original qi, congenital qi, and defensive qi. Qi deficiency can lead to poor blood retention, causing bleeding. It is recommended to take large doses of Astragalus root decoction.We know that pediatric neurology diseases have a significant impact on children.
