Patient's question:
The baby has had a fever for 2 days. Yesterday, they fell into water once and it went away, without any recurrence. The doctor said it needs to be done for 3 consecutive days.Past treatment and effectiveness: Took fever-reducing medicine, but it had no effect and kept recurring. Yesterday at 4 PM, they fell into water once.
What help is needed: The fever is gone now. Do they still need to continue falling?
Doctor's answer:
Now the baby's immunity is very weak. If the child has already fevered down and is not crying or fussing, it's best to go home quickly. There are quite a few viruses in the hospital, and it's very easy to get reinfected. The baby is no longer feverish now, and the main thing to observe is the mental state. If the mental state is good, medication can be temporarily administered. Otherwise, intravenous treatment may still be required. Generally, after the fever subsides, symptoms like cough or nausea and vomiting may reappear. If this happens, intravenous treatment will also be necessary.
