Patient's question:
The baby had a fever of about 38°C repeatedly yesterday, but it has risen to 39.5°C today. The fever interval is about 5 hours. Today, blood tests were done. I don't know what to do—should the baby be hospitalized or treated with medication (last month the baby had a urinary tract infection, which has been fully cured after treatment. Could this be a urinary tract infection again?)Doctor's answer:
The current blood test results suggest a possible bacterial infection causing fever. At this time, it cannot be definitively confirmed that there is a urinary tract infection. It is recommended to undergo a urinalysis to determine if there is a urinary tract infection. Antibiotics can be taken for anti-inflammatory treatment. If there is no improvement after 2 days, it is necessary to seek treatment with intravenous fluids at a formal hospital. The above advice is for the question "Doctor, my baby has had repeated fever of about 38 degrees yesterday." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
