Patient's question:

For two consecutive days, the temperature has been around 38-39 degrees Celsius, and I also went to the hospital. The doctor said it was a fever and prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. It hasn't gone down smoothly, and I'm a bit worried. What do you think?
Past treatment history and effectiveness:
Today's visit: The doctor said it's not pneumonia.
What kind of help do you need:

Doctor's answer:

First of all, I’d be happy to help you. Regarding your situation, a child’s high fever should not be ignored. The normal body temperature of a child is 36.9℃—37.5℃. A temperature of around 38℃ is considered low-grade fever, while a temperature of 39℃ or higher is considered high fever.
Advice: It is recommended that you first try physical cooling methods for your child. Using alcohol to wipe the body has gone beyond the purpose of cooling. If the child’s fever persists, it is advisable to take them to a regular hospital for a thorough examination.
The above is the advice for the question "How to deal with a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided for two days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
