Patient's question:
Patient: Male, 3 months old. On May 28, 2012, when he was almost full moon, he had recurrent high fever and went to Hunan Children's Hospital. He was diagnosed with sepsis and was given Meipin until the end of June. Later, a follow-up ultrasound revealed multiple splenic abscesses. The doctor said that only conservative treatment could be used. During conservative treatment, Meipin was used for half a month without any significant effect, but the liver continued to enlarge. On June 18, Meipin was stopped for 3 and a half days, and the fever persisted. The examination suggested that the abscess might have spread, and there was also pneumonia.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of splenic abscess should include both systemic therapy and local management. Systemic therapy mainly involves the use of broad-spectrum, highly effective, and sensitive antibiotics, as well as systemic supportive treatment. Generally, a combination of third-generation cephalosporins and metronidazole is selected, and attention should be paid to the issue of fungal infections.The child is troubled by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is essential to promptly monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
