Question
A 3-year-old child with a fever of around 37 degrees to 38 degrees for two days! Reached 39 degrees twice and went to the hospital for a hypothermic needle and an X-ray that showed acute laryngotracheobronchitis. I don’t know what it means to have pneumonia, although the doctor said it was pneumonia but not serious! However, it says acute laryngotracheobronchitis at the top and pneumonia at the bottom. Injected for four days, the first day of intravenous drip the fever went down, and since then, the cough has been gone from yesterday to today. The throat is not hoarse anymore! Tomorrow will be the fifth day of intravenous drip, do you think it’s okay?
Answer
Given the child’s condition, the symptoms are gradually improving and disappearing. It may not be necessary to continue the intravenous drip on the fifth day. Antibiotics should generally be stopped after three days. Encourage your child to drink warm water and keep an eye on keeping warm. Maintain a certain level of humidity in the room, give your child a diet based on fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy foods, and take your child outside for more physical activity.
