Question
A four-year-old child developed a fever on the evening of the 9th after catching a cold, and had a recurrence of fever on the evening of the 11th with a body temperature of 39°C. On the evening of the 12th, the body temperature rose further to 40°C. What might be the causes of such symptoms?
Answer
According to the description, the child’s recurring fever may be due to viral and bacterial infections. It is recommended to visit a pediatrician for a follow-up consultation and perform routine blood tests. If confirmed as a bacterial infection, immediate intravenous treatment is required, along with ribavirin for treatment.
