Question
The patient is a 57-year-old male who previously received 5 days of intravenous treatment for mild pneumonia and has now recovered. However, he still occasionally experiences high fever up to 37 degrees Celsius at night and feels physically weak. Doctor, how should this situation be handled? He has been treated at Meishan County Hospital. What are the known treatment conditions and medication allergy history?
Answer
The patient had been treated for mild pneumonia and is allergic to levofloxacin, with no family history of hereditary diseases. It is recommended to conduct further examinations to clarify the cause. If diagnosed as inflammation or infection, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications such as Ceftriaxone and Qingkailing can be used under the guidance of a doctor for intravenous treatment, which usually takes about a week to recover. Currently, it is important to drink plenty of water, eat a light diet, and avoid spicy, cold foods, as well as the stimulation of smoking and alcohol. Doctor, was blood routine and chest X-ray re-examination conducted when the patient was discharged? Are there any coughing symptoms at present?
