Patient's question:
The baby had two episodes of fever from noon to 9 PM, with red face and ears, cold hands and feet. They used cold medicine and fever-reducing medicine (Tylenol) in between. The fever went down after half an hour of taking the fever-reducing medicine, but they don't know how it could have come back. It's not convenient to go to the hospital at this late hour (in the countryside). What should they do if the fever comes back again?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby has recurrent fever, which should indicate inflammation. It is recommended to address the symptoms accordingly.It is suggested to drink more water, have the baby tested for a blood count to confirm bacterial or viral infection, and then treat accordingly. Avoid exposure to cold or extreme cold, maintain a light diet, and pay attention to rest.
The above content is the full answer to the question: "Is it a problem if the baby has recurrent fever from noon to 9 PM?" We hope the patient can soon be free from illness and recover quickly.
