Patient's question:
These past few days, the baby has had a high fever! Last night, they took fever-reducing medicine! In the morning, they felt a bit better! In the afternoon, they measured around 38℃ again! Then the thermometer broke! The new forehead thermometer measured many times but didn’t work! Sometimes it was 38℃ or a bit higher, sometimes 39, sometimes 37℃ or a bit lower! I tried it with my mouth, and the forehead wasn’t particularly hot! But their body was very hot! Their feet were cold! Why is this! And the baby seems to not be doing well? They fell asleep early! Usually, they stay up very late! Is that a problem for you?Doctor's answer:
The child has a fever, ranging from 38 to 39 degrees Celsius. This must be caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Therefore, it is best to go to the hospital and have a doctor examine the cause of the fever, and then treat the underlying cause. During the fever, the child may feel unwell and tend to sleep more during naps. This is understandable. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby has a high fever these days?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
