Patient's question:
Last night, the baby suddenly had a fever. I gave him fever-reducing medicine, and it worked. By the third day, when morning came, he had a fever again. After giving him more medicine, his fever went down shortly. By noon, he had a fever again, so I took him for an intravenous drip, and he was better after going home. In the evening, he had a fever again. His body was very hot, but his hands and feet were cold.Doctor's answer:
Fever is mainly related to infection, including viral infections, bacterial infections, mycoplasma infections, etc. If the infection is not controlled, the fever will recur repeatedly. I have already had a follow-up consultation and been advised to follow the doctor's instructions and focus on treatment. If it is a bacterial infection, the condition can gradually improve after 48-72 hours of antibiotic treatment. For viral infections, it can gradually improve within 3-5 days. For fevers above 38.5°C, focus on oral antipyretics to resolve the issue.The above advice is for the question "My baby suddenly had a fever last night." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
