Question

The child has a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius, which was reduced after receiving a fever-reducing injection, and the child has a nephrotic syndrome. Please inquire about the cause and treatment method.

Answer

Disease Analysis: Excessive use of antipyretics may lead to low-grade fever. Cold can exacerbate nephrotic syndrome, as the treatment of nephrotic syndrome often involves the use of hormone drugs (such as prednisone), which can lower the child’s resistance, making them prone to colds. Typically, medications to enhance resistance are used in conjunction to reduce the occurrence of colds. Currently, it is recommended to pay attention to warmth, continue treating the nephrotic syndrome and cold.
