Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if my 10-month-old child has a temperature of 7.9 degrees?Doctor's answer:
Your child is considered to have a respiratory infection, which is a low-grade fever. It is recommended that you provide more fluids, use lukewarm compresses for physical cooling, and take antipyretic medication if the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees.Hello, if the high fever does not subside, the principle is to avoid antipyretic medication or fever-reducing injections if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees. Instead, the child should be given more fluids. Pay attention to whether the environmental temperature is too high. If the high fever is above 38.5 degrees, please immediately have the doctor diagnose whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection. For viral infections, use antiviral medication. For bacterial infections, use antibiotics.
