Question
A 10-month-old baby was diagnosed with pneumonia and had a fever. After treatment, the baby’s fever subsided, but it recurred soon after discharge. What could be the reason for this, and how should it be improved?
Answer
Before answering this question, you have not clearly described the baby’s symptoms. I suggest that you first conduct a mycoplasma antibody test for the baby. If the result is positive, you can use azithromycin for treatment. At the same time, you need to check if the baby is experiencing recurrent fever due to a foreign body, and a bronchoscopy can be performed to confirm the cause. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you and your baby. Wishing you both good health!
