Question
A one-year-old child sometimes has a fever and sometimes does not, with the highest temperature reaching 39 degrees and lasting for three days. Besides the fever, there are no other symptoms such as a runny nose or cough. The results of the blood routine test are as follows: HGB is 112, MCV is 71.9, MCH is 23.1, PLT is 359, NEUT% is 28.5, LYM% is 57.4, MONO% is 14, EO% is 0.0, LYMPH# is 5.71, MONO# is 1.39, EO# is 0.00. All other indicators are within the normal range. How should one deal with the recurring fever issue?
Answer
The recurring fever in a child requires attention and a determination of the causative bacteria to proceed with effective treatment. Blindly using medication may delay the best treatment time and exacerbate the condition. It is recommended to undergo relevant examinations such as blood routine tests or bacterial cultures, and select treatment methods based on the results of drug sensitivity tests.
