Expert Reminder:
If your child has a fever, don't take antibiotics blindly
It is understood that adenovirus is one of the most common culprits of acute respiratory infections in children, and respiratory tract infections and pharyngeal conjunctivitis generally occur in children after infection.
After your child is infected with adenovirus, he or she may have a high fever that lasts for 5-7 days.
"Unlike bacterial infections, antibiotics are not effective against viral infections. So, if your child is infected with adenovirus, taking antibiotics is not effective. If it is a stream A or a stream, it is also invalid. The doctor said that the child has a fever and should not be blindly given antibiotics.

How to take care of children?
Doctors suggest that for children with adenovirus infection, they can be given antipyretics appropriately, drink more water, rest more, and actively care for them. If your child has a history of cramping in the past, take fever-reducing medicine and medication to prevent cramps if necessary. For most immunocompetent children, adenovirus infection is self-limiting, and mild cases usually resolve spontaneously. If the disease worsens and develops into adenovirus pneumonia, it is necessary to take appropriate antiviral drugs under the guidance of a doctor, but the indications should be strictly grasped.
The doctor also provides parents with a timetable for how to observe the child during the fever period: if the child has a short-term fever and is in good spirits, parents can choose home care. If you have a fever for three days, you can go to the nearest medical institution for necessary examinations. If you want to know if you have adenovirus infection, you can do adenovirus antigen testing for respiratory secretions. If the fever is high for more than five days, further testing is needed to prevent the disease from progressing to pneumonia.
