Question
My baby is 1 year old and suddenly developed a fever of 38.5 degrees at night. I have already applied a fever-reducing patch and wiped the body with warm water. On the third day, we went to the hospital and were diagnosed with influenza. What should we do next?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby has been diagnosed with influenza and has received treatment with Xieyanping Injection and Oseltamivir. Although the treatment has ended, the baby still has a persistent fever, cough, and runny nose. It is recommended that you take your baby for routine blood tests and CRP checks, as well as mycoplasma tests. You can give your baby Children’s Heat Clear Granules and Children’s Lung Cough Granules, and ensure your baby drinks plenty of water. If the fever persists, it may be necessary to conduct routine blood tests, CRP, and chest X-rays to determine if antibiotic treatment is required.
