Patient's question:
The child has a fever but is very energetic. They took fever-reducing medicine in the morning and felt better. After lunch, they slept for more than half an hour, then played for a while before getting feverish again. They slept with sweat and fever, reaching a temperature of 38.5 degrees.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, fever has a process, and it is not recommended to use fever-reducing medication frequently. At least six hours should be spaced between doses. It is advised to go to the hospital for blood tests to confirm the diagnosis and provide targeted treatment. Measure the temperature frequently and pay close attention to the baby's temperature changes. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, it is necessary to take fever-reducing medication, drink more water, and use physical cooling methods together. This involves applying warm towels to the head or wiping the body. The room should be opened for ventilation, and vinegar should be used for steaming.
