Patient's question:
The baby is 1 year and 4 months old and has a recurring fever above 39 degrees Celsius. The urine test says it's a viral infection. The high fever has lasted for 3 days. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the fever subsides for a few hours, then comes back again and again. There is no coughing or runny nose. Could it be roseola? How many days at most can the fever-reducing medicine be taken?Doctor's answer:
The pediatric emergency department has a viral infection. It primarily affects infants and toddlers aged 6-18 months. The characteristic is fever for three days followed by the appearance of rashes. Since it is also a viral infection, the medication is basically the same. The main treatment is antiviral and symptomatic therapy. Therefore, pay close attention and carefully observe if there are any rashes on the skin. Drink plenty of water.This is the advice for the question "What should I do if my 1-year-old and 4-month-old baby has a fever above 39 degrees repeatedly?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
