Patient's question:
The child has been running a fever, and it's consistently over 39 degrees Celsius. After taking ibuprofen, the child's temperature returned to normal for about six to seven hours, but it then jumped back up to over 39 degrees Celsius after that period. The fever reducer didn't work, and the child had blood tests at the hospital, which revealed a viral infection.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, the baby has now been diagnosed with a fever caused by a viral infection. It is recommended to pay close attention to giving the baby more fluids and a lighter diet. Generally, the fever will take 3-5 days to be controlled, and having fluctuations is part of the normal process. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my child has a fever that keeps going up to over 39 degrees?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
