Patient's question:
My child suddenly told me last night that he felt very unwell, as if he had a fever all over and felt weak. We took his temperature and found that he had symptoms of high fever. Something felt wrong, so we immediately took him to the hospital for treatment. The doctor said that my child's high fever was caused by a bacterial infection and that he would need to be given intravenous fluids for treatment. Is there anything else we need to pay attention to or what kind of assistance should we provide?What should I do if my child has another high fever caused by a bacterial infection?
Doctor's answer:
If it is a bacterial infection, antibiotics need to be used. Additionally, fever reduction and fluid replacement should be administered to prevent dehydration. If the body temperature does not drop below 38.5 degrees, it is recommended to use physical methods as much as possible. You can apply Bingbing fever-reducing patches to the baby's forehead to lower the temperature. Bingbing fever-reducing patches are convenient to use and primarily consist of cooling plant extracts, without any medicinal ingredients. They will never cause any side effects. Rest and drink plenty of water, and maintain a light diet. You can let the child drink a lot of their favorite juices, beverages, etc., which will help with hydration and vitamin intake, or drink a lot of soup. The above suggestions are for the question "What should be done for bacterial infections in children?" I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
