The child is currently running a fever of over 38 degrees, and last night it was over 37 degrees. They are sleeping without restlessness. How can this be treated?

Patient's question:

Child has a fever for 17 days now. The child's temperature is over 38°C now and was over 37°C last night. The child is not restless while sleeping, but no treatment seems to bring down the fever.
Please request an expert to provide a systematic treatment method. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

General fever is usually caused by infections, and some conditions such as connective tissue diseases can also lead to fever and are more difficult to treat. In such cases, it is best to first determine the cause of the fever. Once the specific cause is identified, the treatment can be more targeted. If local conditions are limited, it is advisable to seek medical attention and undergo thorough examinations and treatments at a larger hospital. The above suggestions are for the question "A child who is 17 days old has a temperature of 38 degrees." I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
