Patient's question:
On the 9th, I had a low-grade fever that wouldn't go down, with a temperature of 40 degrees. The test results showed an upper respiratory infection. However, by the 11th, my temperature had dropped to 36 degrees. What could be the reason?Previous treatment and effectiveness: None
Kind of help needed: What exactly is going on?
Doctor's answer:
When the fever has already started, the body temperature is high, reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. The test results show an upper respiratory infection. I don't know what medicine you are using for treatment? After two days, the body temperature returned to normal. This proves that the medication is effective, so it works quickly. Some children may experience a recurrence of runny nose and cough after the fever subsides, and further focused treatment is still needed. Therefore, your child needs to be carefully observed. The above is advice on the question "Is a child's 36-degree body temperature normal?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
