Question
The child, who is one year and ten months old, has a fever. Blood tests show a mycoplasma pneumonia infection and myocarditis. The fever started to subside on the first day of intravenous fluid therapy, and the symptoms gradually improved. However, after the sixth day of intravenous therapy, the fever returned suddenly, and the child also started to cough. The intravenous fluids have not stopped. What is going on here, and how many more days of treatment are needed approximately?
Answer
If the fever subsided on the first day and the condition gradually improved, it indicates that the initial treatment was effective. If a fever recurs after a few days of being normal, it is considered a secondary infection. It is recommended to check routine blood test (routine blood tests) and other inflammatory indicators.
