Patient's question:
The child has had a fever for 7 days. Initially, the blood test results were high, and after 3 days of intravenous drip treatment, the blood test results returned to normal. All other checks were normal, but the high fever persisted. Sometimes, the fever can be reduced slightly with fever-reducing medication, but other times it doesn't go down at all. Last night, the highest temperature reached 39.2°C, and today it was 38.5°C. I gave them fever-reducing medication, and everything else is normal. Why won't the fever go down? It has been the 6th day of intravenous drip treatment today.Doctor's answer:
According to your information, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up. Besides fever, what other symptoms do you have? For example, cough, runny nose, rash, sore throat, etc.? If necessary, have a chest X-ray and check for EB virus. It can recur or be contagious. The above is advice for the question "Why is my child's fever high on the first day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
