Patient's question:
My baby is six and a half months old and has a high fever of over 39 degrees. When I went to the hospital, they said it was a viral cold. They gave him fever-reducing injections and antiviral medication, but it's not working at all. It's too late now, so I want to ask how to reduce his fever. I want to ask how to reduce his fever.Doctor's answer:
Generally, fever-reducing injections are effective. When combined with antiviral injections, they can usually lower the fever for a long time. Since it hasn't been effective, it's necessary to retest and verify the condition. At home, you can only rely on physical cooling methods, such as applying ice, bathing with warm water, and drinking more water. If you have fever-reducing medication, it's best to take another dose. Common cold medications like "Happy Cold Relief" also have fever-reducing effects. A temperature of 39°C is too high, and if it doesn't come down, it could lead to problems. Physical cooling methods and drinking more water can also be implemented.
