Question
The child has had a fever for five days with no other obvious symptoms, constantly complaining of a sore throat but no apparent harm. Today, they went to the hospital for a detailed blood routine check, and the C-reactive protein was measured. Antibodies for pneumonia, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and EB virus were all normal. They received intravenous ceftriaxone and antiviral medication in the evening. One hour after returning home, their body temperature was low fever at 39 degrees plus. What could be the cause?
Answer
I’m glad to assist you. Based on the described situation, I suggest it’s best to go to a local regular private hospital with a three-level or higher rating for another blood routine check. The child’s repeated fever should still be considered as having a contagious condition, including bacterial and viral infections. If necessary, a bacterial culture can be performed. Then, symptomatic treatment can be administered.
