Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling quite well, and my appetite for dinner has been good. One morning, when I went to bed, I felt mentally unwell and started crying. I noticed my body was hot, so I took my temperature, which was 38.5 degrees Celsius. Before this, I had no other symptoms.Previous Treatment and Effectiveness:
I had a blood test done, and the doctor said my white blood cell count wasn't particularly high. The doctor didn't say much else, and my family members didn't understand it either. After three days of intravenous fluids, there was no improvement. During the infusion, my temperature sometimes dropped to 37.5 degrees Celsius and other times rose to 38.8 degrees Celsius.
What kind of help is needed:
Hello, Doctor. Do you have any good suggestions?
Doctor's answer:
Based on my speculation about the materials you purchased, I believe that the fever during this season is mostly caused by respiratory diseases after viral infections. I am unaware of the diagnosis and medication situation for your baby, and whether the treatment has been effective?Recommendation: I suggest an economical, safe, and innovative cooling method—alcohol wipe cooling. You can consult with the pediatric healthcare workers in the hospital, and they will guide you on the specific usage methods.
The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my child has a fever?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
