What should I do if I have a high fever that doesn't go down for a long time?

Patient's question:

My daughter is 11 years old and has had a fever for over ten days. She has been taking medicine and getting injections at home, but it's not working. What should we do? Intravenous infusion, medication? What kind of tests should be done, and how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is recommended to conduct a thorough blood test to confirm whether the recurrent fever is caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Treatment can then be administered accordingly. Anti-inflammatory or antiviral treatments can be applied based on the situation. Drinking plenty of water and using physical methods to reduce fever can also help with the body's full recovery. Additionally, it is important to strengthen the body and enhance immunity to reduce the risk of getting sick.
