Patient's question:
A 2.5-year-old baby has had a fever for 4 days, with daytime fever and nighttime fever. The first two days, they kept dry vomiting, but today they stopped vomiting. They're walking unsteadily now, and at night, the fever has started again. They've had three injections, but it hasn't helped.Doctor's answer:
Recurring fever suggests checking a blood test to understand if there is a bacterial or viral infection, so that timely symptomatic medication can be administered. Also, pay attention to whether a rash reappears. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, use fever-reducing medication. If it does not exceed 38.5°C, primarily use physical cooling methods. Drink more fluids, eat warm and easily digestible foods, and pay attention to preventing cold, especially protecting the abdomen. If the condition does not improve, go to the hospital for a thorough examination, and if necessary, receive intravenous treatment.
