Patient's question:
The baby had a fever of 38.5°C during the day, and the fever (fever reducer patch) brought it down to normal. However, in the second half of the night, it had a low fever again, reaching 39°C, and the fever reducer patch brought it back down to around 38.5°C, fluctuating repeatedly. There is a valuable wine applied to the navel, and there is a rattling sound of phlegm in the throat. Now the baby wants to sleep, but I dare not let him sleep. Should I take him to the hospital? I am worried.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is speculated that the baby's recurring fever may be related to a cold or upper respiratory infection. Given the current circumstances, if the fever persists and does not subside, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Treatment should be administered based on the specific cause. The above advice is for the question "Should I take my baby to the hospital if their fever doesn't go down to 38.5 degrees?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
