Patient's question:
The baby has had a fever for two days and has taken medicine to reduce it, but it came back today. I also noticed that the baby is a little shaky all over. What's going on? I'm so worried. The doctors at the big hospital won't give the baby a shot and say to use physical cooling, but when it cools down, the fever comes back. Even after taking medicine, the baby's eyes are a bit red and look very tired. This is the first time the baby has had a fever this seriously. I'm wondering if it was scared because it fell asleep for a while and then started crying loudly. The baby's poop is still black and green. I need treatment and help.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, your child's condition may be caused by high fever. Fever is a symptom of many illnesses, and simply reducing the fever does not mean the illness has been cured. It is essential to treat the disease that caused the fever before the fever can truly subside.When the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use ibuprofen suspension drops or acetaminophen sustained-release tablets to reduce fever. Alternatively, frequent lukewarm sponge baths can help lower body temperature, or applying a fever-reducing patch to the forehead may provide some cooling and brain-protecting effects.
