Patient's question:
On the 22nd, the weather suddenly turned cold, and the temperature dropped significantly. When the baby was napping, I didn't notice and ended up covering them with a thin blanket and dressing them in very thin clothes. At 8 PM, the baby started sleeping, but by 10 PM, I noticed their face was red, and their head was moving constantly. They were murmuring in their sleep. I used an electronic thermometer to measure their temperature, which was 38.8 degrees Celsius (it was possible they had a low-grade fever earlier at 8 PM, but there wasn’t much of a reaction, so I didn’t notice). I immediately hailed a taxi to the city’s children’s hospital emergency room (the baby was still awake on the way, but looked red). It’s possible I covered them with too many blankets. When we arrived at the hospital at 10:40 PM, their temperature had risen to 39.8 degrees Celsius. I immediately applied cooling patches and gave them fever-reducing medication at 11 PM.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Based on your information, the high blood count in your child indicates that the fever is caused by inflammation. The hoarse voice suggests that the child has not fully recovered and should continue taking medication.Advice: According to your description, although your child has high fever, the temperature returned to normal quickly with treatment and there were no adverse reactions. Therefore, it will not affect intelligence, and you don't need to worry. No further tests are necessary. Loss of appetite is a common symptom after high fever, as the body has not fully recovered. It is recommended to drink more water and eat light, easily digestible foods.
