Question
Why does my child’s body temperature get higher after using intravenous drip with Xiyanping and Azithromycin when they have a cold and fever?
Answer
If a child’s body temperature rises after receiving intravenous drip treatment with Xiyanping and Azithromycin for a cold, it could be due to incomplete control of the infection or certain reactions caused by the medication itself. In such cases, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine blood test to determine whether the infection is viral or bacterial. If diagnosed as a bacterial infection, appropriate antibiotic treatment is necessary. At the same time, measures should be taken to alleviate the child’s respiratory symptoms, such as using gastrointestinal depressants. Parents should also pay attention to their child’s diet, avoiding picky eating and ensuring a balanced diet.
