Patient's question:
My son suddenly had a fever of 39.5°C yesterday morning. I took him to the hospital where he received an injection and was given medicine. Later, his fever went down. However, in the afternoon today, his fever came back up to 39.5°C. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, consider that the child's fever is caused by a cold. Fever can be caused by bacteria or viruses. It is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a doctor and see how effective it is. However, it is essential to drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, and avoid giving the child spicy foods. If necessary, have a blood test to identify the cause and then treat accordingly. This way, the condition will improve relatively quickly. Wishing you good health.
