Patient's question:
Usually, the high fever starts in the evening. The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital for an IV drip and felt much better after going home. Last night at 12 a.m., the high fever started again. They gave me ibuprofen, and the temperature dropped. Just now, everything seemed fine, but this reaction has been happening on and off for a week. Whenever I hear her breathing heavily, my heart drops to the ground. I know it's the fever again.Doctor's answer:
Fever in children is a common clinical symptom in pediatric patients. In most cases, fever is a protective response of the body fighting against invading pathogens, representing a process where the immune system is activated to combat infection. However, high fever or prolonged fever can impair various regulatory functions of the body, thereby affecting the health of children. Therefore, when a child has a fever, it is important to actively identify the cause and implement treatment targeted at the root of the problem.
