This morning, the fever suddenly subsided, but they haven’t broken a sweat yet. Today, they are a bit stuffy-nosed. Hello, is it acute fever? Will the high fever come back and forth?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: How does the fever-reducing medicine assist: Is my baby’s condition acute fever?
Doctor's answer:
The temperature in the armpit of a child is between 35.9℃ and 37.2℃. A temperature below 38℃ is considered low-grade fever, while a temperature below 39℃ is considered high fever. Therefore, if a child's temperature is not excessively high, it is generally believed that a temperature below 38.5℃ can be harmful to the child, and timely fever reduction treatment should be administered.Advice: Use warm water baths to help lower the temperature. If the temperature does not decrease significantly, seek medical treatment at a hospital or a veterinary hospital for fever reduction.
