Question
After three days of fever in a child, the fever subsides and many red spots appear on the chest and back. The child also experiences headaches, redness around the eyes and neck, decreased appetite, and restlessness. A blood test was conducted, showing low results and mild anemia. The child had taken Qingkailing, ibuprofen, and ribavirin during the fever. What should be done in this situation? Should medication be continued? What medication should be taken? Is it infantile exanthema? What precautions should be taken?
Answer
A fever followed by fever break and rash in children may be a sign of infantile exanthema. Low blood counts may indicate viral infection. Decreased appetite might be accompanied by abnormal digestion and absorption. It is recommended to continue using ribavirin for antiviral treatment. Monitor the child’s mental state and appetite; consider using pediatric digestive tonics to promote digestion and absorption. These are suggestions for the “fever for three days followed by fever break and rash” issue. Hope this helps you; wish you health.
