Patient's question:
I have been hospitalized for six days now. I was diagnosed with bronchitis. Currently, I am experiencing high fever every day. When I receive a fever-reducing injection, the fever subsides, but without it, the fever returns. Blood tests show no problems, and both echocardiograms and appendicitis scans are normal. I want to ask if there could be any other reasons.Past Treatment and Effects:
The baby was diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy three days after birth. Three courses of treatment were administered, and an MRI indicated that it was normal.
Type of Help Needed:
Why do I keep having high fever?
Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious categories, with infectious causes being more common. Examples include fever, which is the most common cause. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and then address it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile seizures in children.Recommendation: Therefore, it is necessary to control the body temperature. The main methods include drug-induced cooling and physical cooling. Specific medications should preferably be used under the guidance of a doctor.
