What problems are there if your temperature is low after taking fever-reducing medication?

Patient's question:

The baby, the body temperature is low today, it's the third night. During the day, the body temperature is normal, but it drops when sleeping at night, and it rises in the second half of the night. The baby is also in good spirits during the day, but seems less interested in drinking milk than before. Yesterday, the baby urinated a lot, but today the baby only urinated three times. Today, the baby didn't drink as much water as yesterday, only drank a couple of sips after finishing the milk. Is there something wrong with the child?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, the child's thermoregulation center is still underdeveloped. Generally, after taking fever-reducing medication, the child may experience a recurrence of fever. However, this condition usually does not show symptoms such as crying or lethargy in most children, and there are generally no abnormal signs. Usually, it is sufficient to pay attention to keeping the child warm and encouraging them to drink more water. If the child occasionally experiences fever again, it is necessary to have them checked to determine the exact cause of the fever. Only after identifying the cause can the treatment be targeted. Do not worry too much, and I hope my explanation can help you.
