Patient's question:
Yesterday afternoon, I noticed the baby wasn't feeling well. In the evening, when I checked his temperature, it was 38.5°C. We used a fever-reducing gel, and the fever went down right away, but it came back shortly after. When I checked his temperature again, it was 39.1°C. I tried to make him sweat to lower the fever, but he didn’t sweat at all. After an hour, when I checked again, his temperature was up to 39.6°C. So, we took him to the hospital and got him a fever-reducing injection. He was also a bit constipated, but it wasn’t too severe. The doctor prescribed Lactobacillus Acidophilus Tablets, Transfer Factor Oral Liquid, and Ibuprofen. When we got home, his fever went down. The next morning, he didn’t have a fever, but by the evening, it came back to 38.4°C. What’s going on? Why is he having repeated fever episodes?Doctor's answer:
Generally seen in purulent tonsillitis, pneumonia, enteritis, brain infections, and the initial stages of other infectious diseases. It is recommended to hospitalize for a thorough examination to clarify the condition before further detailed tests. Drink plenty of water and eat more fruits, pay attention to rest, and physical cooling may be necessary if needed.This is the advice for the question "How to deal with a 9-month-old baby with recurrent fever."
