What should I do if my fever comes back after taking fever-reducing medicine?

Patient's question:

Fever for four or five days now, it goes down after taking fever-reducing medicine, but it comes back up repeatedly. Went to the hospital today for an IV drip, but it came back up with a fever again at night. Have been taking Xiao Er Chai Gui for an hour now, and it's still 38.3 degrees.

Doctor's answer:

I don't know if the baby has a fever, or if there are no symptoms of a runny nose or cough? If not, there may be a possibility of roseola. Generally, with roseola, the fever lasts for about four or five days, then the rash appears as the fever subsides. The red rash may take about two or three days to fade.
The baby has already taken Cinae Child Formula, and the temperature is 38.3°C. It is recommended to feed more boiled water, use fever-reducing patches, and apply lukewarm compresses. Please pay close attention. It is best to have a blood test at the hospital to determine the type of infection.
