Question
A 2-year and 3-month-old boy has recently been suffering from recurrent low fevers, which have persisted for nearly a month. Despite undergoing hospital treatment, including three days of intravenous injections and a one-week hospital stay, there has been no improvement. All examination projects have been completed, and the diagnosis is bronchitis with other indicators normal. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Based on the described situation, it is recommended that parents take their child to the pediatric department of the hospital for further throat examination to confirm if there is any inflammation present. At the same time, a routine blood test should be conducted. If the white blood cell count is elevated, consider using cefaclor, Pudelin oral liquid, and pediatric throat-soothing and detoxification powder. Additionally, ensure that the child is well-hydrated and consumes sufficient fruits and vegetables to maintain smooth bowel movements. It is suggested to conduct another routine blood test and closely monitor temperature changes to prevent the fever from turning into a high fever. Since children have weaker resistance, parents should continue to pay close attention to their child’s health condition.
