Patient's question:
For two or three days, the fever comes and goes; taking medicine brings down the temperature, but it returns after a few hours.Past treatment and effectiveness: Received a few anti-inflammatory injections, with one dose bringing down the fever. Currently, the temperature is 37.6°C.
What kind of help is needed: Just want to ask if 37.6°C is considered a fever?
Doctor's answer:
Babies usually have recurring fever. For temperatures below 38.5°C, it's best to use physical cooling methods, such as increasing fluid intake and alcohol rubs with warm water. If the temperature rises above 39°C, it's essential to go to the hospital for a doctor's diagnosis to determine the cause of the fever and receive timely treatment. When children are feverish, most fever-reducing medications, such as paracetamol and compound aspirin, contain caffeine, phenacetin, and other ingredients that have significant side effects. If you must use fever-reducing medication, please do so under the guidance of a doctor.
