What should I do if a child has a fever for three consecutive days, with the fever returning the next day?

Patient's question:

The child had a fever for three consecutive days. The fever subsided on the first day. On the third night, the fever was low-grade at 40 degrees Celsius. On the third day, ibuprofen was taken, which helped bring down the fever. On the third day, ibuprofen and cefaclor were also taken, and the fever was reduced during the day. It burned during the day but not at night. Both hands and feet were cold. Should a complete blood count be done?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to serve you. Based on the situation described, it is suggested that the child has recurrent fever with such high temperature, and it is best to visit a hospital for a face-to-face consultation and undergo blood tests. Medication should be administered based on the detailed examination results, and it is important to pay attention to giving the child adequate fluids daily. This will help promote viral metabolism and reduce fever. If you have any questions at any time, feel free to consult. Wishing you and your family good health. Goodbye.
