A 12-year-old boy started having a fever on December 11 and was diagnosed with bronchitis pneumonia. After 7 days of hospitalization and 5 days of medication at home, he began to have a fever again on the evening of December 22. Despite a good mental state and no cough, his temperature reached up to 40 degrees Celsius with intermittent high fever every 5-6 hours. The child’s blood routine and lung sounds were checked, and the doctor recommended taking ceftriaxone for three days before another review. Currently, the child has a high fever every 5-6 hours, with physical cooling measures taken during low fever periods and the use of children’s Tylenol. Parents are asking how to handle this situation.
