Question
The baby was diagnosed with bronchial pneumonia at the beginning of the month and was hospitalized for about ten days, discharged on the 11th. After taking ceftriaxone for three days at home, the baby had a fever on the third night and was diagnosed with tonsillitis at the hospital. The baby took pediatric Jinqiao and ceftriaxone and the fever subsided in two days, with no other symptoms. Yesterday, on the 23rd, the baby started coughing in the morning and had a fever of 38.6 in the evening, which was reduced with antipyretics. The fever rose to 39 degrees at night and reached 41 degrees in the morning.
Answer
The baby was diagnosed with pneumonia at the beginning of the month and although the treatment took a considerable amount of time, it healed itself. However, yesterday there was a recurrence of coughing and fever, with a peak temperature of 41 degrees. Blood tests showed low white blood cell counts and c-reactive protein levels, indicating a viral infection. It is recommended to take oseltamivir phosphate granules for antiviral treatment, along with other medications such as Pulilehe mixture for clearing lung heat. Ensure plenty of hydration, and if the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, take ibuprofen for fever reduction.
