Question
Recently, my child has had a cold. After going out for activities at the weekend, they developed a fever. The fever improved after taking antipyretics, but then recurred. The fever reached as high as 40 degrees. This morning, after taking the antipyretic, the body temperature was still 39.8 degrees. I am wondering whether it is necessary to consider saline infusion treatment. There is a history of allergy to penicillin and ceftriaxone. Currently, cefixime and compound paracetamol are being used for treatment.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have a fever caused by a cold, and the body temperature remains high. It is recommended to undergo intravenous treatment to quickly control the condition, while also using physical cooling methods. This treatment method is more effective, and it is expected that the child’s fever symptoms will gradually improve. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
