Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work.By the way, do children with a fever of 38 degrees Celsius need to take fever-reducing medicine?
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 infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, etc. Don't rush to take medication. It depends on the severity. Some severely ill children, if they survive, may need a treatment course of 2-4 weeks. Newborns have their own special characteristics, with more immature development of various organs, making the course of the illness longer. I suggest that you communicate more with the responsible doctor during your weekly visit days to understand the condition and medication. At the same time, the daily list can also show the examination and treatment status during your hospital stay.
