Question
The child’s blood test shows high SAA levels, and the fever has not subsided after about 4 days. What’s going on?
Answer
Based on your description, the child has high SAA levels in the blood test and a fever that has lasted for 4 days. The child is currently taking amoxicillin, antiviral oral liquid, children’s asthma oral liquid, and oseltamivir capsules. Considering the possibility of a mixed viral and bacterial infection, it is recommended to provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment while also paying attention to personal hygiene and properly caring for the child. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is suggested to use fever-reducing medication. The above is a suggestion for the question ‘What should I do if the SAA level in the blood test is high and the fever does not subside after about 4 days?’ I hope this helps you, and wish you and your baby health!
