Patient's question:
The child started feeling unwell at 5 PM, and after taking a bath at 7 PM, they felt very cold. A short while later, by 9 PM, they had a fever of 39.2°C. They took fever-reducing medication, Paracetamol and Ibuprofen, and were discharged at 11:30 PM. Now at 5:30 AM, they have a fever of 39°C again, with no runny nose, cough, or chills.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby has chills, high fever, no cough, and runny nose. It is still considered that the fever is caused by catching a cold. How is the baby's mental state? Is the diet and urination and defecation normal or not? It is recommended to drink more warm water and use physical methods such as warm water bathing to reduce body temperature. If the body temperature is below 38.5°C, and the child feels uncomfortable, consider taking fever-reducing medication. Pay attention to keeping warm, avoid going to crowded and poorly ventilated places to prevent cross-infection.
