Patient's question:
The child is now 5 and a half months old and has suddenly developed a high fever. There is no stuffy nose, no cough, and it doesn't seem like a fever. The high fever has lasted nearly 24 hours, with a temperature of 38.2°C. During the day, the child is lethargic and doesn't want to move, while at night, they cry a lot and don't sleep well.Treatment history and effectiveness:
I consulted a doctor once, and the doctor said it wasn't necessary to take medicine, just drink more water.
What kind of help is needed:
Hello, what should I do if the child suddenly has a high fever?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the current condition of the baby, it is possible that there may be an inflammatory response in the body, such as a viral or bacterial infection, which has led to a recurrence of fever. If the internal inflammation has not subsided, the body temperature may fluctuate at any time. It is recommended to conduct a blood test and give the baby some warm water or warm juice to help him urinate and sweat more, thereby expelling the virus and pathogens from the body. Adjust the treatment plan based on the test results and monitor the condition regularly.
