An eight-month-old baby has a fever every afternoon.

Patient's question:

Over the past two days, I've had a high fever;; it has been between 38.5 and 39 degrees, and taking some medicine helps;; I was fine in the morning but started having a high fever in the afternoon;;; It's been three days now, and in the afternoon, I had a high fever twice with an hour interval;; the fever subsided for 3 minutes in between;; then it went back up to 39 degrees;;;; I have a slight fever but no cough;; I have some diarrhea.
Previous treatment and effectiveness:
- Fever-reducing medicine
- Anti-inflammatory medicine;;;;
What kind of assistance is needed:
- What's wrong; what medicine to use; how to treat it; do other children have similar symptoms?

Doctor's answer:

Baby fever is mostly caused by infections, primarily requiring antiviral treatment. If the infection is not controlled, it is easy to have recurrent fever.
Recommendations: Let the child rest. The room should be quiet and well-ventilated. The bedding should not be too thick or excessive. Maintain skin cleanliness and hygiene, and frequently wipe away sweat from the child's body to prevent catching a cold. Give the child more hot water or fruit juice to facilitate sweating and urination, promoting the excretion of toxins. Consume liquid or semi-liquid food.
