Patient's question:
On November 26, 2018, 16:09Baby is one year and five months old. Since yesterday afternoon, they have had a fever. Last night, the temperature reached 38.9℃. During the day, the fever was high, even without a fever, and their spirits were good, but they had a slight cough. Last night, they also had a fever of 38.9℃. It only dropped to 37.7℃ after applying fever-reducing patches. After a careful check, it was determined to be a viral infection. The baby is now asleep, and the temperature is rising again. What is going on?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby has already been diagnosed with a fever caused by a viral infection. It is recommended to pay close attention to ensuring the baby drinks plenty of fluids, follows a light diet, and can take oral traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying. Fever usually takes 3-5 days to subside, and the current fluctuating condition is a normal process of the illness. The above suggestions are for the question "What to do if a child has a fever caused by a viral infection." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
