Question
A 3-month-old baby has a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius and has been on intravenous fluids for 9 days, but the fever still persists. The baby also has symptoms of phlegm and occasional coughing. In past treatments, cephalosporin antibiotics were used, but the effect was not satisfactory. How can the baby’s fever be cured?
Answer
Cephalosporin is a good antibiotic, but due to the baby’s possible insensitivity to cephalosporin, the therapeutic effect is not good. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment. Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
