Patient's question:
At midnight, I started having a fever. Test results: No tests. Past treatment history and effectiveness: The doctor said I had tonsillitis and received intravenous drips at the hospital. It has been four hours since the drips, but the high fever is still not going down. What kind of help do I need: How can I get better and stop having a fever?Doctor's answer:
Fever is not necessarily bad, as long as it does not exceed 38.5 degrees, medication to reduce body temperature is not required. The child has already been diagnosed with inflammation, and at this stage, fever is normal—it cannot decrease so quickly. Ibuprofen and other fever-reducing medications can be given, combined with physical cooling methods, and plenty of fluids should be consumed. Once the medication course is complete, the condition will generally improve.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby's fever doesn't go down after receiving intravenous fluids?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
