How to handle a 4-month-old baby with fever for two consecutive days?

Patient's question:

His temperature returned to normal after about three hours. However, this situation has persisted for two days now, as he recently had bronchitis.
Previous treatment and outcomes: Amoxicillin, Cefikin. The help provided: Suggested speculation.

Doctor's answer:

After applying fever patches and taking Meilin, Viralux, Qingkailing, and cold medicine, the temperature returned to normal within about three hours. However, this situation has persisted for two days. The previous illness was a urinary tract infection, which was likely caused by an unresolved respiratory infection. Focusing on infection control and antiviral treatment is the right approach. Pay attention to preventing colds and drink plenty of hot water.
