Patient's question:
It has been three days of fever, and after taking medicine, the temperature came down for a few hours before rising back to around 39 degrees. Taking Tylenol again brought the temperature down. It has been continuously fluctuating like this up and down until now.Doctor's answer:
The situation you described is considered infectious fever. Before the transmission is effectively suppressed, symptoms such as fever may repeatedly reappear. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a complete blood count test and clinical diagnostic tests to receive appropriate treatment. The interval for using fever-reducing medication is 4 hours once, and up to 4 times a day. It is absolutely not advisable to use it continuously. The above advice is for the question "Fever for three days, temperature dropped after taking medicine but returned after a few hours." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
