Patient's question:
The child has been experiencing repeated low fevers, with temperatures around 38 degrees and close to 39. They went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and blood tests revealed a viral infection. The doctor prescribed medication to take at home, but after almost three days, the fever is still recurring. What should we do? Physical cooling methods have been tried, and they keep taking fever-reducing medicine—is that not also not good?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby has a fever due to a viral infection. Any disease has a process of development, and the course of a viral infectious disease is generally about seven days. The child can take the medicine prescribed by the doctor. When the temperature drops below 38.5 degrees, they need to take antipyretic medication and apply physical cooling methods. Buy two types of antipyretics and use one every four hours, alternating between them! The above is advice for the question "What should I do if my child always has high fever," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
