Question
Three months ago, I experienced symptoms of headache, fever, and accompanying muscle pain. I was given three days of intravenous injections to bring down the fever. Although the fever subsided, I still felt chest discomfort and had a mild cough. Later, I took ceftriaxone and penicillin, but the effects were not satisfactory, and the symptoms recurred. I also consumed several Chinese herbal remedies, but they had no effect. After that, I received several days of Pachy treatment, which improved my condition for ten days, but recently I’ve felt chest discomfort again. I want to know what illness I have, how to treat it, and whether it can be cured. Please note that my child also had a fever at the time, diagnosed as mycoplasma pneumonia.
Answer
Pneumonia is a common respiratory infection in children. Treatment typically involves urine tests to determine whether the infection is caused by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens, followed by medication tailored to the cause. Fever and cough are typical symptoms of pneumonia, and if coughing is frequent, consider nebulizer therapy. These suggestions are for the question regarding “three months ago when I experienced headache, fever, and accompanying muscle pain, and it was only after three days of intravenous injections that the fever subsided.” I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
