Question
My child has had a fever for three days. The urine C-reactive protein level is high. We have been taking Azithromycin for four days—two doses on the first day and one dose each day since then. Do we still need to be strict about the dosage? An X-ray shows bronchitis. The child has a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius tonight. Do we need to give medication? (Female, 4 years old)
Answer
I’m glad to assist you, I am a doctor from Quick Ask Doctor, and I’m happy to clarify your doubts. Based on your description, your child needs focused treatment. I suggest you recheck the blood count in the next two days and go to the nearest hospital for intravenous treatment, as this is an online platform, and it’s important to have a face-to-face consultation with a doctor.
