Patient's question:
Child's weight: 11 kg; Fever: 39°C; No cough; No stuffy nose; No sneezing; No nasal discharge; Went to the hospital yesterday, the doctor prescribed fever-reducing medicine, but it didn't work; still 39°C; seeking help, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
The child's fever may be related to infectious inflammation. First, appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment is needed to suppress the disease. Second, appropriate fever reduction treatment is required, such as physical cooling or medication, to keep the body temperature below 38.5°C to prevent the recurrence of complications like convulsions. In severe cases, intravenous treatment should be considered, and it may also be necessary to visit a pediatric department for a thorough examination to determine the cause.
