Question
A 6-year-old 3-month-old child has been infected with a mix of viruses and bacteria, resulting in recurring fever symptoms. After taking antipyretics at home, the child still has a fever and experiences seizures, lasting about 10 seconds. Inquire about other effective treatment methods besides antipyretics.
Answer
Mixed viral and bacterial infections in children typically last for 7-10 days. According to the description, it may also be necessary to rule out infections by mycoplasma, chlamydia, and other pathogens, which could have longer durations. Oral ulcers are often caused by viruses and can be treated with antiviral oral sprays. The child has had a fever for 4 days, and it is recommended to undergo tests for specific pathogens such as mycoplasma antibodies, chlamydia antibodies, and Epstein-Barr virus. Antipyretic treatment is only for symptom relief; the key is to determine the correct antibiotic treatment.
