What medicine should a child take when they have a fever?

Patient's question:

The child is 2 years and 4 months old. Yesterday, starting at 3:00 PM, they began to have a fever. They were given fever-reducing medication, but the fever returned after the medication wore off. They went to the hospital for a blood test, and the doctor recommended intravenous fluids. They also had a fever last week, with two lymph node chains on both sides of the neck. The doctor prescribed medication, which they took at noon, but the child is still feverish. They are asking if intravenous fluids are necessary.

Doctor's answer:

Recurring symptoms as mentioned above are caused by bacterial infections splitting into viral infections, leading to repeated episodes of fever. Timely medication should be administered for treatment, and intravenous fluids can be used if necessary, which can quickly alleviate symptoms and help the patient regain health. The above content is the entirety of the question: "A two-year-old and four-month-old child started fevering at 3:00 PM yesterday. What medicine should they take?" I hope the patient can soon be free from the torment of the disease and recover quickly.
