What should I do if the baby has a fever all day today?

Patient's question:

The baby has had a fever all day today, ranging between 39°C and 37°C. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the temperature drops, but it rises again after a few hours. The baby has already taken fever-reducing medicine twice today. Now the temperature is 39.3°C, and the baby is hiccuping, but not coughing badly.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you with your purchase. Based on the baby's condition, it is likely a respiratory infection. Well, according to the test results, if the baby is experiencing hiccups, it is recommended to use cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medication, and to give the baby plenty of water. Rest well and pay close attention to any changes in body temperature. If the temperature drops below 38.5°C, it is necessary to use fever-reducing medication. However, the fever-reducing medication should be taken every four to six hours and can be repeated as needed.
