Question
A female patient, nine months old, had been in good health until recently. She has been running a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius for a week now. She stops the fever at home with injections, but it returns within two days after stopping them. The county hospital checked and found elevated myocardial enzymes.
Answer
The key to treatment lies in anti-inflammatory and antiviral measures. A combination of medications is used, but the dosage must be sufficient! This way, recovery is faster! Generally, a minimum of 3 to 5 days of anti-inflammatory treatment is required. Everything has its two sides. Although fever is a bad thing, it also reflects, in some sense, the integrity of the body’s defense function. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents and caregivers, do not rush; instead, take your child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Also, pay attention to regular checks for the child and treat according to the doctor’s guidance.
