Patient's question:
The baby has been slightly feverish since last night, and the temperature has been around 38 degrees with a thermometer. It's still the same now. At home, I gave him some cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine, but it hasn't improved. The baby has no energy and keeps asking me to hold him while taking a nap. His spirits are particularly low. If he's still awake and refusing to nap at night, what should I do?What kind of help is needed: Should he take medicine? He rarely gets a high fever. Please give me some better suggestions. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a blood test to check for any viral infections. If there is a viral infection, additional medication should be taken, or intravenous drip treatment can also be considered. Pay attention to drinking more warm water, maintaining a light diet, and avoiding spicy or irritating foods. Rest well. This is the advice for the question "What should I do if my baby is not feeling well?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
