How to handle a one-year-old baby with high fever for three days at 40 degrees Celsius?

Patient's question:

A one-year-old baby has a fever for three days. Low-grade fever of 40 degrees. The fever reducer hasn't brought it down, and nausea and vomiting have started yesterday. Three to four times a day! Today the temperature is normal. Please check the blood test results.

Doctor's answer:

Considering it may be a viral infection, it is recommended to follow standardized antiviral treatment. This viral infection could be either a respiratory virus or an enteric virus, so further examination of the stool is still necessary. It is advised to take your child to the pediatric department for consultation. After the doctor performs a detailed physical examination and relevant auxiliary tests, the child's condition can be accurately determined. Treatment will be guided based on the test results. Please cooperate actively with the doctor's advice.
