| Diagnosis and treatment of the case | Diagnostic Test | The infant was transferred to a hospital for better management of her infection. She was immediately started on intravenous acyclovir (20 mg/kg/6 h/5 d) while acetaminophen suppositories (80 mg/8 h/5 d) were given to lower her body temperature. In addition, other palliative drugs, such as diphenhydramine syrup (12.5 mg/5 mL, 2.5 mL orally) once-a-night for five days, were given to ease the effort of drinking and to aid in achieving good sleep. Upon completion of five days of therapy, the patient showed complete recovery and was subsequently discharged from the hospital free from symptoms. |
