Patient's question:
The child is seven years old and has been having high fevers every ten to twenty days for the past year, with temperatures reaching over 38 degrees Celsius. When taken to the hospital, it's either diagnosed as a viral infection or a respiratory infection. A few days ago, they checked and found that the immune function is normal and the anti-O test is normal. Why, after treatment, do they still have high fevers again after half a month or twenty days? Why?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the pathology reflects severely, it is still recommended that you go to the hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment. Don't delay the condition. You should also pay attention to the evaporation and cooling effect. It is recommended to use cold tap water to help the skin expel excess heat. Although you can wipe (with a sponge) all over your body, you should pay special attention to many parts with high body temperature, such as the armpits and groin. After squeezing out excess water from the sponge, wipe one area at a time, and cover other areas with clothing. The body will evaporate this moisture, which is beneficial for heat conduction.Suggestions: In addition, below are some relevant precautions that I hope will be helpful to you. When you have a high fever, your body sweats to dissipate heat; but when you have a high fever, your body may lock the sweat glands due to excessive fluid loss to prevent further fluid loss, which makes your body unable to dissipate heat. The solution is to consume fluids, drink plenty of plain water and fruit and vegetable juices. Fruit and vegetable juices are rich in vitamins and minerals, especially beetroot juice and carrot juice. If you want to drink tomato juice, you should choose a low-sodium product. The above is the advice for the question "A 7-year-old child has had high fever every 10-20 days in the past year," hoping it helps you. Wishing you good health!
