What should I do if I have a persistent fever?

Patient's question:

The baby is very good, and doesn't have picky eating habits either. They can eat a lot at each meal, and their body has always been very strong. Lately, I don't know what's going on, but they've been having frequent fevers. I've taken them to the hospital in our neighborhood, and they've been getting IV drips for several days, but it hasn't made any difference at all. This endless fever is making me very worried. What should I do about the baby's continuous fever?

Doctor's answer:

Fever is a symptom. If a child has a fever, parents must not let their minds get heated. Stay calm and composed, avoid panicking and resorting to hasty solutions. It is recommended to take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. For feverish children, it is important to provide plenty of fluids and offer light, easily digestible food. Pay attention to oral hygiene, and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, humidity, and air circulation. I hope this helps with your question.
