Patient's question:
Fever of 38 degrees. It has been two days. Took ibuprofen to fight the virus. The fever went down for a while after taking the medicine, but then it came back again. I'm feeling okay mentally. How many days will it take for the fever to go down?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of your child's recurring fever are caused by bacterial or viral infections. You can give your child ibuprofen granules and amoxicillin granules for treatment, while also increasing their intake of plain water to help expel bacteria and viruses. Additionally, you can use alcohol solution to wipe your child's body to help with physical cooling, which can effectively help reduce fever. If the treatment doesn't work or shows minimal improvement, you should take your child to the hospital for intravenous treatment.
