Patient's question:
The baby had a fever of 39.8 degrees yesterday and got a small injection at the hospital. A little ibuprofen was taken. The temperature checked last night was 38.5 degrees, and this morning it was 37.6 degrees. A little anti-inflammatory medicine was taken. After taking a nap in the afternoon, the temperature dropped to 38.7 degrees, and a little more ibuprofen was taken. The tonsils are a bit inflamed, and blood tests showed no problems. It was said to be a viral infection. Should the baby get an IV drip today?Doctor's answer:
