Patient's question:
The child had a fever yesterday and got an injection to bring it down. Today at 3 PM, she suddenly had another high fever. In the evening, I gave her another injection. I noticed her tonsils were inflamed. Right after the injection, can I put something in her rectum to reduce the fever? Also, while giving her a bath at night, I found many small red spots on her upper body. Is that a problem?Doctor's answer:
The child had a fever yesterday and received an injection to bring it down. In the evening, another injection was given to her. It was noticed that her tonsils were inflamed. The child kept having fever, and the hospital found that the inflammation was not completely resolved. While bathing the child at night, it was observed that there were many small red spots on his upper body. This might be caused by an allergic reaction. It may be necessary to switch to another anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's temperature drops below 35.8 degrees, rectal suppositories or forehead patches can be used to reduce fever. However, it is recommended that the child be hospitalized for close observation, as this will help the child recover.The above is advice on the issue "The child had a fever yesterday and received an injection to bring it down... this afternoon." I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
