Patient's question:
Upper respiratory tract infection, went to the hospital in the morning and got medicine, had a high fever of 39 degrees at noon, took fever-reducing medicine and the fever went down, had a high fever of 38.7 degrees at half past ten at night, took fever-reducing medicine until half past eleven, the fever did not go down, but instead reached as high as 39.4. Now it should not...Doctor's answer:
First, please don't worry too much. Children of this age are prone to high fever, which is a natural immune defense mechanism of the body.Guidance: If they have just taken the fever-reducing medicine, there's no need to give them fever-reducing medication immediately. It's recommended to use physical cooling methods. If after two hours the fever hasn't subsided and instead worsens, you can consider giving fever-reducing medication. However, it should be noted that identifying the cause of the low fever and treating the root cause is essential. Once the condition improves naturally, the fever will subside. Avoid blindly using fever-reducing medication.
The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if a child's fever doesn't subside after taking fever-reducing medication?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
