Patient's question:
The night before yesterday, I suddenly had a fever. It was just a simple fever with no other symptoms. I didn't see a doctor. The fever started at 38.6°C, and later I took some ibuprofen suspension to bring it down. In the second half of the night, it went back up to 37.7°C. After taking the medicine, the fever subsided, and I took some cephalosporin tablets during the day. Today, there's no fever, but I don't know how it will be at night. No, I want to know what's going on. Is it serious? Should I take any more medicine, or do I need to go to the hospital? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby has a fever. It is likely caused by a bacterial or viral infection. It is recommended that the baby have a complete blood count test. If the blood test results are normal, it could be roseola, which is characterized by a fever lasting for 3-4 days, followed by a return of fever and then the appearance of rash. The baby can take Pu Dilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid and Lamb Horn Granules. If the blood test results are elevated, it indicates a bacterial infection, and it is recommended to take Cefixime Granules. Drink plenty of water. Has the baby had roseola before?The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 19-month-old baby suddenly has a fever?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
