Question
How to Treat Fever After a Child’s Pneumonia?
Answer
Based on your description, it seems that your baby is being treated at an outpatient clinic. Pneumonia is often best treated in a hospital setting, as it allows for: 1. More detailed observation of the condition; 2. Necessary examinations to be carried out; 3. More effective control of the volume and speed of intravenous fluids, and timely adjustment of the treatment plan. Outpatient clinics have high patient flow and complex environments, which can easily lead to cross-infection and the occurrence of other diseases. Considering your baby’s situation, we need to consider the following points: 1. The baby may be in the acute phase of pneumonia, during which the symptoms may be more severe than when initially diagnosed, even potentially leading to complications such as heart failure; 2. It may be that the lung infection has not been effectively controlled, possibly due to inappropriate treatment medications; 3. Long-term use of antibiotics may lead to secondary infections. Therefore, it is recommended that you have your baby hospitalized for treatment.
