How do I handle my baby who is 146 days old and has a high fever?

Patient's question:

The baby is now one year and forty-six days old. Today is the third day of high fever. The previous two days, the fever was as high as 39 degrees Celsius each time. Every time the fever occurred, the baby was given four milliliters of fever-reducing medicine. Over these three days, the baby has been given at least four doses of fever-reducing medicine each day. The first two days, the fever would drop before the medicine's effect wore off, and today, after seeing the doctor, they advised us to give the baby fever-reducing medicine every three hours. Currently, the baby's body temperature is consistently at 35 degrees Celsius.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description of the situation, it is suspected that the baby's condition is currently fluctuating and that oral fever-reducing medication has been used excessively. It is recommended that you take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination to rule out other inflammatory conditions and comprehensively analyze the baby's current condition. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be encouraged, with increased fluid intake and close monitoring of the baby's mental state, urination and defecation, dietary intake, and other aspects.
