Question
I have had a high fever and cough for a week. I have been taking medication for nine days and have been on intravenous fluids for six days. The symptoms have disappeared. Can I stop taking the medication?
Answer
After six days of antibiotic use, if the child shows no symptoms, it may be considered to stop the medication. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination. If the examination results are normal, you can stop the intravenous fluids, but you may still need to continue taking oral medication for a few more days to consolidate the treatment effect and prevent recurrence of the disease. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
