Patient's question:
The baby had a fever yesterday morning, but it dropped below 38.5 in the afternoon. It has been feverish all night. From yesterday afternoon to this morning, the baby took fever-reducing medicine four times. This morning, the fever is not too high, but the feet are cold and the hands are hot.Doctor's answer:
Besides fever, does the child show any other discomforts? For example, coughing, runny nose, etc. How is the mental state? Are bowel and bladder functions normal? Has a rash reappeared? What specific medication was used? Has a complete blood count test been performed? Cold hands and feet suggest poor peripheral circulation, which may lead to a further drop in temperature. While monitoring the temperature, it is advisable to seek a face-to-face consultation at the hospital.
