Question
Ten days ago, a 9-month-old child came in for intravenous drip to lower the fever. Three days later, they had a fever again and used Chinese medicine patches on the belly and foot soak to lower the fever. Three days later, they had a low-grade fever again. The blood tests at the hospital were normal, and some antiviral medication was prescribed. A day later, the fever was hovering around 38 degrees. I would like to know how to help: Hello, what is going on with my baby?
Answer
Hello: Your baby’s condition suggests that the repeated occurrence of fever is likely due to catching a cold or overexertion. It is recommended to conduct further checks and actively treat and prevent the condition. It is suggested that you pay attention to keeping your baby warm, avoiding catching a cold, drink more warm water, and consume more vegetables and fruits. You can go to the hospital for repeated sputum bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests, mycoplasma tests, etc., to determine the nature of the inflammation and then decide on active treatment measures, avoiding blind medication to prevent misdiagnosis of the condition. I hope my explanation can help you.
