Patient's question:
My baby is six months old. A few days ago, she had a fever, and the blood test showed a viral infection. She has recovered now, but she is crying a lot, very noisy, and doesn't sleep well during her nap. She also has occasional dry retching and seems to vomit but can't bring it up. When she falls asleep, she suddenly starts crying, and it's hard to comfort her. A few days ago, she wasn't like this. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of fever in children is infections caused by various pathogens such as viruses or bacteria, such as respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, and urinary tract infections, which may all lead to the child experiencing fever symptoms. It is recommended that you give your child oral pediatric cold granules and ibuprofen suspension to see if it helps. If the high fever persists or recurs frequently, it is advisable to take your child to a local hospital's pediatric department for diagnosis and treatment. Currently, it may be considered a viral gastrointestinal infection, so it is best to actively seek medical attention in the pediatric department.
