What should I do if my baby has a high fever for three days?

Patient's question:

The baby has had a high fever for three days, with a peak temperature of 39.9°C. After the fever subsided, the baby developed diarrhea. Starting at 17:30 yesterday, the fever began to decrease. In the afternoon today, I noticed small red spots on the baby's chest and behind the ears, but they are not numerous. Could this be the rash of roseola? Can the baby take a bath?

Doctor's answer:

If the child's high fever subsides and then reappears with red spots on the chest and behind the ears, it should be considered as possible roseola. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. If it is roseola, you can give some heat-clearing and detoxifying medications, such as honeysuckle particles, etc. For diarrhea, you can give some Lactobacillus rhamnosus particles. The above suggestions are for the question "What to do if the baby has a high fever for three days." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
