Question
The baby was recently diagnosed with bronchitis pneumonia and has been receiving intravenous drip treatment for three days. However, the baby has continued to have a fever for two days, with the highest temperature reaching 38.4 degrees Celsius today. The baby has taken 4 milliliters of antipyretic medication, and the body temperature has dropped to 36 degrees Celsius. The baby also appears to have lost appetite. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Hello, based on the baby’s current symptoms, it may be due to the rapid drop in body temperature after taking the antipyretic medication. In this case, it is important to promptly ensure the baby’s warmth, and you can give them some ginger syrup to raise their body temperature. If the temperature rises again, you may need to increase the dosage of the antipyretic medication. The above suggestions are for the question “What should I do if my baby is diagnosed with bronchitis pneumonia?” I hope this helps and wish the baby a speedy recovery!
