Patient's question:
The baby is one year and eight months old. In the afternoon, they had a high fever of 39 degrees and went to the hospital for a urine test. The doctor said it was a viral infection and gave them a fever-reducing shot. Now the baby has started having another high fever of 39 degrees. They have already taken oral liquid, Xiao Qing He Granules, and ibuprofen mixed syrup, but the fever is still not going down. What should you do? Should you go to the hospital?Past treatment history and effectiveness:
Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify this for you. Repeated fever in children may be caused by a viral infection or inflammation. If a thorough examination confirms a viral infection, you can give the child some antiviral oral liquid. If the medication doesn't work effectively, intravenous treatment can be administered, which may be more effective. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, it's important to give the child fever-reducing medication promptly to prevent the recurrence of high fever seizures.
