Patient's question:
First day 39.5, second day 39.1, third day over 38 degrees, the child basically doesn't eat anything. What kind of help do you want: What to do, the doctor said to go for a blood test tomorrow, but now it feels like the temperature is going up again, can I take them now?Doctor's answer:
This friend, the normal body temperature of a healthy person is between 36 and 37 degrees. Below 39 degrees is considered a low fever. I suggest you can now use physical cooling methods. In children, fever is often caused by viral or bacterial infections. If there is a bacterial infection, antibiotics need to be used. What can be done now is to apply a cold towel to the child's forehead and give the child more water. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. The above is my suggestion for the question "What are the reasons for a child's persistent high fever?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
