Examination of recurrent fever in children with pneumonia

In fact, in daily life, many parents are busy with their work and want to give their children a better growth environment, but this will lead to poor care and cause illness. So let us learn about the examination of repeated fever caused by pneumonia in young children.

General treatment requires bed rest, eating easily digestible foods rich in protein, electrolytes, and vitamins, and paying attention to water replenishment. Physical cooling should be given to those with high fever. Children with milder symptoms can use some antiviral and anti-influenza drugs on their own. Common ones include pediatric lung heat, cough and asthma oral liquid, which combines the core formula of Ji Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang and Shuang Huang Lian in one, and is combined with Isatis root and Houttuynia cordata. It is not only effective in preventing and treating colds and influenza, but also has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, and promoting lung function. It is the first drug in the country to treat and prevent influenza in children. If the high fever lasts too long and does not subside, you need to see a doctor to avoid worsening of the condition.

1. X-ray chest film shows reticular shadows in both lungs, thickened and blurred lung texture. In severe cases, diffuse nodular shadows can be seen in the middle and lower fields of both lungs. Consolidation is rare.

2. Blood test: The white blood cell count is generally normal, but may be slightly higher or lower. In case of secondary bacterial infection, the white blood cell count and neutrophil count may increase.

3. Etiological examination: Virus culture is difficult and not easy to carry out routinely. If the sputum smear of pneumonia patients only finds scattered bacteria and a large number of nucleated cells, or no pathogenic bacteria are found, the possibility of viral pneumonia should be suspected.

4. Serological examination: Two samples of serum from the acute phase and the recovery phase. An increase of 4 times or more in the antibody titer of the complement fixation test, neutralization test or serum inhibition test is of diagnostic significance. In recent years, the use of serum to monitor virus-specific IgM antibodies has helped in early diagnosis. Immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, enzyme-labeled histochemistry, horseradish peroxidase-anti-horseradish peroxidase method, etc. can be used for virus-specific rapid diagnosis.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the examination of repeated fever in children with pneumonia. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding. Therefore, in daily life, if such a phenomenon occurs, the most fundamental thing is to reduce the fever first.
