Patient's question:
The baby is one week old and has had a low-grade fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius that hasn't subsided since Saturday. On Saturday night, the baby also had a seizure. We have used infant fever reducer suppositories, Motrin, alcohol wipes, and cold packs, but the fever still hasn't gone down.Previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
Kind of help needed: Fever reduction and identifying the cause.
Doctor's answer:
Fever reduction is only symptomatic treatment. The key is that the cause is unclear and untreated. There are many possible causes of fever: the most common is viral fever, which usually subsides within 3-5 days without special treatment;、、、、；2、。
