10-month-old baby repeatedly has a fever and takes fever-reducing medicine, then why is the temperature low?

Patient's question:

A 10-month-old baby, who has had repeated fever and taken ibuprofen three times, had a normal temperature yesterday with only 35.5 in the evening. Yesterday, there was a lot of sweating, and today the temperature has started from 35.5 to 35.8 and now reached 36.3. There is burping, runny nose, and cold hands and feet. What could be the reason for the temperature? Is it necessary to have a thorough check-up?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description of your child's condition, pay close attention to monitoring their temperature. A current temperature of 36°C is normal, so it's recommended to drink more water. My advice is that common causes of fever in children include viral and bacterial infections. Generally, the fever lasts for 2 to 3 days. If the fever repeatedly spikes and the child appears lethargic, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above advice is for the question "10-month-old baby with recurrent fever after taking ibuprofen three times." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
