Patient's question:
A four-year-old child has a cough and fever. They have had high fever for four consecutive days. After taking ibuprofen, their temperature rises again to between 38 and 39 degrees Celsius within a few hours. The fever remains low and does not subside. What treatment is needed?Doctor's answer:
Do you show other symptoms besides fever, such as cough or runny nose? How long has it been, and what tests have you undergone?Fever in children is a very common consumptive condition in clinical diagnosis. Generally, the temperature fluctuates for 3-5 days, and this is part of the process.
Pay attention to monitoring the temperature, drink plenty of fluids, and frequent urination can help dissipate heat.
2. Physical cooling: Use lukewarm water to bathe the body. You can also apply it to large blood vessel areas like the neck, armpits, and groin to cool down.
Administer medication to relieve symptoms. Oral medications such as ibuprofen suspension can be used.
