Patient's question:
Fever of 38 degrees. It has been two days. Took ibuprofen to fight the virus. The fever went down for a while after taking the medicine, but then it came back again. I'm feeling okay mentally. How many days will it take for the fever to go down?Doctor's answer:
Most of the time, your child's recurring fever is caused by bacterial or viral infections. You can give your child some ibuprofen granules and amoxicillin granules for treatment, while also increasing their intake of plain water to help expel bacteria and viruses. Additionally, you can use alcohol dissolved in water to wipe your child's body for physical cooling, which can effectively help reduce their fever. If the treatment doesn't work or shows little effect, it's best to take your child to the hospital for intravenous treatment.
