Question
My child had a fever of over 39 degrees, and after three days of intravenous fluids, the fever broke. However, they subsequently developed a loss of appetite and lethargy.
Answer
Based on the description, it may be side effects from overuse of antipyretics or the use of steroids. It is recommended to stop the relevant medications and pay attention to replenishing the body’s electrolytes, consuming bland and easily digestible foods, and incorporating fresh vegetables and fruits into their diet. Avoid medications containing diphenhydramine. At the same time, keep them warm and monitor any changes in their condition.
