Doctor's answer:
From the baby's temperature records you've kept, it has been in a high fever state. After a thorough examination, it has been confirmed to have a viral infection. While taking fever-reducing medication, antiviral medication should also be taken. A full recovery takes time, so you shouldn't be too impatient. If the high fever persists, you should go back to the hospital for a follow-up check-up, including a blood test and CRP test, to determine the type of infection and receive targeted treatment.
