Child with recurrent fever: What medicine to take

Patient's question:

Last night I had a fever of 39.1°C, and after taking fever-reducing medication, my temperature returned to 39°C in the middle of the night. Currently, I have developed mild cough and nasal congestion and am taking antiviral oral liquid. However, this morning my temperature is still 39.2°C. What medicine can help me recover?

Doctor's answer:

The child has recurrent high fever. It is recommended to conduct a timely and thorough blood test to determine whether it is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. If it is a bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used for treatment. If it is a viral infection, antiviral treatment is required. The doctor will provide symptomatic treatment based on the test results. Parents only need to take good care of the baby during the treatment period, ensure the child drinks plenty of fluids, and maintain a light and easily digestible diet.
