Question
A 3-year-old 9-month-old child developed a fever at midnight, with no runny nose, occasional coughing, but felt throat discomfort, with a body temperature of about 38.5 degrees. The child took silver and gold granules, cold medicine, and cefaclor dry suspension as antibiotics, and physical cooling measures were taken. The child was taken to the hospital at 7 pm, with the highest body temperature reaching 39 degrees. The doctor diagnosed it as tonsillitis and conducted a blood test, only with a slightly elevated CRP value. The question is whether the child’s convulsion after intravenous infusion is a reaction to the infusion.
Answer
Currently, the child’s convulsion may be caused by high fever and requires continued observation and treatment. It is recommended to continue intravenous infusion for anti-inflammatory purposes, pay attention to nursing care, and timely physical cooling if fever occurs. Fever-reducing medication should be taken during high fever. Observe for at least one week to determine whether it is a reaction to the infusion or other causes.
