Question
The baby’s pneumonia hasn’t improved after 15 days of treatment. Today, the body temperature is 37.7 degrees. What should we do? It’s been half a month since the baby started treatment, and there’s still no improvement. I’m heartbroken to see the child receiving treatment.
Answer
In this case, if the baby’s fever recurs, it could be due to catching a cold again or drug fever. Therefore, it’s necessary to pay close attention and carefully observe the baby’s condition. Generally, with intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment, infant pneumonia can improve and heal on its own. If the baby’s condition seems to be worsening, it is recommended to transfer to a hospital for further examination and treatment. In cases of high fever, physical cooling methods can be used instead of taking antipyretic medication, as it is generally only recommended to take antipyretics when the temperature is below 38℃.
