Patient's question:
The baby is two years old. The past few days, every time they take a nap at night, they get a fever of over 38 degrees. What could be causing this? They've been a bit sick these past couple of days, with a cough. They don't have a fever during the day, only when they nap at night. Will taking ibuprofen to reduce the fever be effective? Will taking too much have any side effects?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, this condition should be considered as a result of an upper respiratory infection, which is generally caused by viral or bacterial infections. For your condition, it is recommended that you first visit the respiratory department of a hospital for a follow-up examination and diagnosis, and then determine a targeted treatment plan based on the doctor's advice. The above advice is for the question "My baby is two years old. The past two days, every time they take a nap, they get a fever of over 38 degrees." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
