My 2-year-old son was recently hospitalized for a severe chest and blood infection (LRTI with sepsis), but his fever has returned to 100?F one day after being discharged on Cefbact, Linezolid, Crocin DS, Ascoril, Maxtra, and nebulization; is this returning fever normal, and what are the proper recovery steps and long-term health expectations for him?
A mild temperature of 100?F can sometimes occur as your brave little boy?s immune system continues to recover from a severe infection. Please continue giving all his prescribed medications, including the antibiotics (Cefbact and Linezolid) and paracetamol (Crocin DS) for comfort, exactly as directed. Keep him well-hydrated and rested. While most children recover fully with no long-term health issues, please contact his pediatrician immediately if the fever rises higher, or if you notice rapid breathing, poor feeding, or extreme lethargy.
