Question
An 8-month-old baby is suspected of having an upper respiratory infection with fever symptoms. How should it be diagnosed and dealt with?
Answer
After medical assessment, it was determined to be an upper respiratory infection. The baby had been receiving intravenous cefalosporin antibiotic treatment for four days. The fever improved during the treatment, but then recurred, accompanied by diarrhea. In this situation, it is recommended to conduct a stool test to determine the cause and adjust the treatment plan based on the test results. Additionally, attention should be paid to keeping the baby warm to help improve the condition. These suggestions may be helpful to you, and wish you good health.
