Patient's question:
The baby is 15 months old. Five days ago, they had low-grade fever that came and went, with a peak temperature of 40.2°C. They went to the hospital for a urine test, and the results showed a viral cold. The doctor told them to go home and observe carefully. Now the fever has subsided, but they have developed red rashes all over their face and hands. In addition to the small, puffy bumps on the back of their ears and neck, they are worried about getting infected with other symptoms if they go to the hospital again. So, they want to consult here first. Is this situation serious? Is it a normal reaction after the fever subsides, especially the small bumps? Will they heal on their own, or do they need to see a doctor?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for the baby's skin rash and hives are mostly considered to be caused by allergies. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination of the allergen. Avoid contact with the allergen in daily life to prevent exacerbation, actively implement anti-allergic treatment, and can take some loratadine syrup orally. The above content is the entire answer to the question: "How to treat a 15-month-old baby who had a fever repeatedly for five days with a highest temperature of 40?" I hope the patient can get rid of the disease and recover soon~!
