Patient's question:
A 29-month-old baby with high fever, please check the urine test report! Low-grade fever 38.8 yesterday morning, took Tylenol to reduce fever, stayed between 37.2~37.5 throughout the day, but it rose to 38.2 at 10 PM that night, and 38.8 again this morning. Took Tylenol again and dropped to 37.6! Now it's back up to 38.1.Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, it is possible that the baby's fever is caused by a respiratory infection, as the test results have not yet been received, so it is difficult to determine whether it is a bacterial or viral infection. It is recommended that you pay close attention to giving the baby more water and a lighter diet. Oral traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying can be used for treatment. A full recovery will take time, and it usually takes 3-5 days to control the body temperature. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
