Patient's question:
High fever, highest temperature of 39 degrees, onset time: two nights ago, laboratory test results: no hospital visits. Past treatment and effectiveness: took fever-reducing medicine, it went down but then returned, then took cephalexin. Today's temperature is 37.8 degrees. Occasionally coughs a few times. Hello, how about going to the hospital for a urine test. 37.8 degrees, how about it is the fever-reducing medicine.Doctor's answer:
The baby is prone to recurrent infections because they lack immunity from the mother's body. This often comes with symptoms of fever. Based on your baby's condition, it might be a manifestation of an acute infection. The repeated fever is primarily due to incomplete elimination of inflammation. It is recommended to have a blood test done at the hospital to determine whether it is a bacterial or viral infection, and then receive targeted treatment. Simply using fever-reducing medications only addresses the symptoms and does not treat the root cause. Once the medication wears off, the fever will return. It is advised not to self-medicate, but rather seek a thorough examination at the hospital and receive intravenous treatment.
