How to deal with a nine-month-old baby who has recurrent fever that doesn't go away?

Patient's question:

There was also a time when this happened, and it was a few days before the fever subsided. Later, when I went to the hospital for an IV drip, it was only for one day and it was fine.
What kind of help do you need: What could be the reason? Do I still need to take fever-reducing medication? Do I need to go to the hospital for an IV drip?

Doctor's answer:

You can do a blood test to confirm whether the recurrent fever is caused by bacterial or viral infection before starting treatment. Depending on the situation, anti-inflammatory or antiviral treatment should be administered. The treatment should be based on antibiotics, as using only fever-reducing drugs is only a temporary solution. If the temperature is too high, oral fever-reducing drugs such as naproxen can be taken to prevent further high-temperature convulsions. Drink more water and use physical methods to lower the temperature, which will help the body recover completely.
