Question
The child has been experiencing persistent fever for two days after recovering from encephalitis. They were diagnosed with encephalitis a week ago and were discharged from the hospital after treatment. No further examination was conducted upon discharge; the child was stable and had been fever-free for several days before being released.
Answer
Hello, based on the description, it may be that the encephalitis has not fully recovered or that the child has been infected with bacteria, leading to the persistent fever. It is recommended to use antibiotic treatment in conjunction with antipyretic medication and to closely monitor the situation. Neurological diseases in children can have serious consequences, and if not treated correctly or treatment is delayed, the condition may deteriorate rapidly. Therefore, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek medical attention promptly.
