Patient's question:
At three years old, the baby started having recurrent fever on the 7th at noon. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the temperature went down. However, on the 8th in the afternoon, the fever became severe, reaching 39.5°C, and the fever-reducing medicine didn't help. A blood test was conducted, and there was some coughing—said to be the flu, which is contagious. Antiviral Azithromycin was taken, but the temperature still didn't go down. What should be done? Still need to go to the hospital—cannot be allowed to worsen.Doctor's answer:
Since you have had your blood checked at the hospital and seen the doctor for medication, it can be said that the diagnosis is quite accurate. Currently, it is recommended to focus on medication treatment. Take a fever-reducing medication if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees. If the fever does not subside, then coordinate with physical cooling methods. As long as there is no convulsion, it is generally affect the brain. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my three-year-old child starts having recurrent fever?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
