Patient's question:
The big baby has a fever that doesn't go down, and physical cooling brings it down for a while, but then it spikes again. It has been three days, and the temperature is as high as 38, with a peak of 38.9. What should I do? Urgent.Past treatment history and effectiveness: This is the first time the baby has had a high fever. What kind of help is needed: Expected help to diagnose the cause.
Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, there are quite a few causes of fever in children. It is necessary to first identify the cause of the fever and then address it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is also important to control the body temperature.Recommendations:
Mainly, medication and physical cooling methods should be used. Medication should preferably be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, nausea and vomiting caused by long-term medication can usually recover on their own after discontinuation.
Generally, if the fever is below 38°C, antipyretic medication is necessary. If the fever is below 38°C, antipyretic medication is usually not required, and physical cooling should be the primary approach. Use a 37°C warm towel to rub the entire body and drink plenty of warm water.
I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
