Patient's question:
One-year-old male baby, started to have a fever in the middle of the night last night, measured 39.5 this morning, took fever-reducing medicine, and cooled down after physical cooling. Six hours later, it fevered up to 39.2 again. Has semi-transparent nasal discharge, mild cough, and chills.Doctor's answer:
After reading your description, it is likely that the child has a respiratory infection. The possibility of a viral infection is relatively high. It is usually self-limiting, with a course of about one week. If the child is in good spirits, you can give them more fluids. For high fever, antipyretic suspension can be given orally. If the child's mental state is poor or the temperature persists without improvement, it is necessary to revisit the pediatric department of the hospital. The above is advice on this issue. It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
