Question
My child is 2.5 years old and has been running a fever for the past two days. We went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, had blood tests, and the doctor said the throat was red and swollen. They prescribed ceftriaxone and pediatric Jinyao Granules. It’s the third day now, and the fever keeps coming back, fluctuating around 37℃ during the day, not completely going down, and no coughing symptoms. The child keeps saying their teeth hurt, and we’ve seen mouth ulcers. Why is the fever still there?
Answer
According to the blood routine test, your baby has inflammation, which has led to a decrease in white blood cells. I suggest you focus on taking the medication as prescribed or consider intravenous treatment.
