Question
A ten-month-old child has developed hand, foot, and mouth disease pharyngitis and has been taking medication for two days. However, the body temperature still remains at 38.3 degrees Celsius after adding the administration of Ceftriaxone last night. The child started taking antiviral oral liquid and oral spray yesterday afternoon, and added Ceftriaxone again this afternoon. How should we proceed next?
