Patient's question:
The baby had a fever of 38.5°C two days ago and was coughing. After taking medicine, the fever subsided during the day, but it spiked to 38.6°C at night. They took fever-reducing medicine, and it was fine during the day. Today, while napping, the baby felt cold and had a temperature of 35.5°C. What's going on? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
The baby has developed a fever again. After using medication for two days, the baby is now feeling cooler and has a lower body temperature. This is a symptom of the baby's fever, which has been treated, and the lower body temperature is due to the effect of the medication. Generally, drinking more hot water for the next few days will help the body temperature gradually return to normal. There is no need to worry. The above is advice on this issue. I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
