Patient's question:
The child suddenly had a high fever of 38.5℃ at 6 PM yesterday. At 7 PM, they took ibuprofen suspension. With the flu, does the temperature always not come down?Doctor's answer:
Does the child have a fever and other symptoms? After going to the hospital, was it carefully examined whether the fever was caused by a bacterial infection or a viral infection? If it is caused by the influenza virus, the fever is indeed difficult to subside. Influenza is a viral infection and is prone to repeated fever. The medication taken should be appropriate. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, oral antipyretic suspensions can be taken, and physical cooling methods can be used. Avoid eating fish, shrimp, mutton, and other foods. Pay attention to a light diet.
