What should I do if my baby has recurrent fever?

Patient's question:

My baby started running a fever yesterday evening. The first time it was 38.5, and later it went up to over 39 degrees. At half past ten last night, they took medicine, but around three in the morning, the fever went back up to over 39℃. They took fever-reducing medicine again. This morning, before eight, it went up to over 39 degrees again. What should the doctor do?

Doctor's answer:

From above, the baby is suspected of having a viral infection, and now recurrent high fever requires timely and targeted treatment. It is recommended to administer fever-reducing medication to address the issue. Additionally, antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs should be given to prevent inflammation and transmission. Drink plenty of water and eat light, easily digestible foods. The above advice is for the question "What should I do when my baby keeps having fever?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
