Patient's question:
However, for the past month, the fever has been persistently high, ranging between 37°C and 38°C or slightly above. The hospital has conducted thorough examinations, but the results showed nothing significant except for the presence of a virus in the body. Despite taking various medications, there has been no significant improvement, and we are all very anxious. Why is the child's low-grade fever not subsiding after a month?What kind of assistance is needed: How to deal with a child's persistent high fever for a month?
Doctor's answer:
I am your medical health advisor. If you have a viral infection, a careful examination of white blood cells often shows an increase. Additionally, some children cannot identify the underlying cause of the fever, experiencing fever of unknown origin. Actively cooperate with the local pediatrician for examination to find the underlying cause, and treat the underlying cause as the foundation. Currently, treatment primarily focuses on active fever reduction. If viral infection is suspected, ribavirin granules are recommended. Increase fluid intake, enhance nutrition in diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and if necessary, combine traditional Chinese medicine to take the pulse, identify patterns, and take oral Chinese medicine for regulation.
