Patient's question:
Age of onset: Started having a fever after taking a nap yesterday (the 13th). Took fever-reducing medication and got an injection in the afternoon. This morning, the condition did not improve and the temperature rose to 39.2. Vomiting was also present last night.History of treatment and effectiveness: Treatment did not show improvement.
Desired help: Want to ask what is going on? Is there a good solution?
Doctor's answer:
As it is right now, he should drink more water and check his temperature frequently. If it exceeds 39°C, he should take fever-reducing medication. However, it's best to use lukewarm water to bathe him frequently. Never keep the child covered. Wait until the next day to see if there are any changes. If the fever persists, it's essential to take him to the hospital. Sometimes children get "food fever" because they eat too much during the day or consume greasy food. Since they are young, their digestive systems can't handle everything. These are just analyses and speculations—decisions should be made based on the child's specific condition. It's just that adults will have to work a bit harder at night. I often hear doctors say: "Children shouldn't be starved or frozen, but they often get sick after being overfed or overwrapped." In my opinion, this really makes sense.
