Patient's question:
My child has had a fever for over nine months and taking fever-reducing medicine doesn't help. Since last night, the fever hasn't gone down. Today, I took them to the hospital and had their blood checked. The doctor said everything is fine, but why won't the fever go down?Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in 9-month-old infants are unknown, and other symptoms and signs are also unknown. This is due to the highly efficient training of the body's immune system, so there is no need to worry as long as the body temperature is not above 39.9°C. As long as the primary infection is treated, the body temperature will naturally decrease. It is recommended to seek follow-up care in pediatrics to identify the specific cause before taking action. Physical cooling methods can also be used to lower the baby's temperature, which can make the child more comfortable.
