Why does a 4-year-old child's fever not go down at night?

Patient's question:

Four-year-old baby, had a fever the night before yesterday, took ibuprofen, didn't have a fever yesterday during the day, but started at 4:30 and has been 38.8 degrees, took fever-reducing medicine but it didn't work. At midnight, took compound zinc ibuprofen granules, and the temperature went down. In the morning at 8:30, the temperature was over 38 degrees again. The blood test results were normal, said it was a viral cold. Why doesn't the temperature keep going down?

Doctor's answer:

General viral infections are not easy to bring down the temperature, and the condition of the child still hasn't been suppressed, leading to unstable temperature. It is recommended that parents pay attention to giving the child more water, pay attention to preventing colds, use fever-reducing medication promptly if the temperature drops below 38.5 degrees, and actively use medication treatment. The above is advice for the question "Four-year-old baby, fever the night before yesterday," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
