Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I had a high fever of 38.5 degrees and took medicine for 2 days. Today, I had another high fever of 38.8 degrees and took medicine for another 2 days. What is the situation that causes the baby to have repeated fever, or is it because the body is lacking something, leading to poor immunity?Doctor's answer:
For a child in this situation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed and thorough examination. Most cases are caused by upper respiratory infections due to catching a cold, and it is best to receive targeted treatment. Generally, a blood test is needed to check for bacterial infections. Additionally, during the recovery period, it is important to ensure the child drinks plenty of fluids and that the room is kept well-ventilated. It is also advisable to keep antiviral medications at home, such as commonly used products like Chaihuang Granules and Yinhuang Granules.
