Question
A 3-year-old child was discharged from treatment for bronchial pneumonia and started to have a fever of 39.5 degrees in the afternoon. What could be the cause?
Answer
The recurrence of fever in a child after discharge from treatment for bronchial pneumonia can be due to various reasons. Firstly, the pneumonia may not have been completely cured, and the child may have become ill again at home due to catching a cold or cross-infection from new inpatients. Secondly, attention should be paid to the possibility of mycoplasma infection, as mycoplasma infections often lead to prolonged fever. To determine the cause, blood routine tests and mycoplasma antibody tests can be conducted to rule out related infections. In terms of treatment, in addition to continuing to take antibiotics, if the fever cannot be ruled out as a viral infection, consideration can be given to administering Pudendu Blue Oral Solution or Children’s Chikungunya Clear Heat Granules. Meanwhile, staying hydrated is also important for relieving symptoms.
