How to handle a baby with high fever

Patient's question:

The baby has had a fever for 4 days, and the temperature has always been above 39 degrees Celsius, with several instances reaching 40 degrees! The hospital has tried everything, but no medicine has been administered! It just won’t go down, and I’m so desperate!

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, there are many possible reasons for the fever, such as viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, and so on. It is best to identify the cause and treat accordingly. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, use physical cooling methods, drink plenty of warm water. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, you can consider using fever-reducing medication, such as Tylenol. The above advice is for the question "My baby has had a fever for 4 days and the temperature has been above 39°C." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
