Question
What could be the possible cause of a child experiencing persistent fever, liver and spleen swelling, and lymphadenopathy, especially when unable to use any antibiotic medications? How can the temperature be rapidly reduced and fever avoided? What measures should be taken?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be suffering from sepsis, a condition caused by bacterial proliferation in the blood. It is recommended to hospitalize the child immediately and perform bone marrow biopsy if necessary. The treatment for sepsis usually requires antibiotics, and timely treatment can lead to recovery in most cases. Additionally, blood culture tests should be conducted to determine the pathogen. In daily life, it is advisable to avoid injuries to children as they can increase the risk of infection. It is suggested to seek detailed examination and treatment from a professional hospital.
