Patient's question:
The baby suddenly had a fever at night, unsure if it was because they got cold during the day! Measured twice at night, it was 38.5! Measured two or three times in the morning, it was 38.3, and once it was 37.8. In the morning, they drank some fever-reducing hot water and ate mantou and pumpkin cakes! But later, they went back to sleep! Just measured again, it's 37.9! Should they go to the hospital in this condition!Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this for you. The issue you mentioned is as follows: If you measured a temperature of 38.5 twice at night and the fever keeps recurring, this could be considered infectious fever. If the baby continues to have high fever and poor spirits, it is recommended to go to the hospital for follow-up. This is the advice for the question "What should I do if my baby suddenly has a fever at night?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
