Patient's question:
Son is 9 years old. He had a fever in the morning two days ago, got an injection in the afternoon, and then had a fever again at 12 midnight. The next day, he got another injection, but still had a fever at night. Today, he got another injection, but now he's feverish again. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Children with fever are often accompanied by contagious diseases, and common causes include viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, etc. Your child has been having recurrent fever, which may be due to uncontrolled infection. Antipyretic drugs can be repeated every 4-6 hours, but it is recommended not to exceed 4 times a day. They can be taken now. If low-grade fever reappears, drinking more water can help lower the body temperature to normal. Generally, antipyretic drugs are not recommended. If the body temperature is above 38.5, it is advisable to drink more water while taking antipyretic drugs. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
