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 7-month-old child has a fever all night?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common being infections, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don’t rush to take medication. If the fever doesn’t subside, it persists for a long time, and medication shows no effect, and you’re unsure what the issue is, it’s best to go to a large hospital for a detailed examination. During fever, you can temporarily take fever-reducing medication. Once the cause is found, treatment can proceed. Drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, avoid smoking and alcohol, and refrain from eating spicy and irritating foods. I hope my answer brings you some hope.
