Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Male, 8 years oldThe child has had a fever for 4 days. On the first day, it was high fever, and starting from the second day, it was low fever, reaching 38°C at midnight, usually 37°C. Currently, the child is receiving an intravenous drip of Normet, but doesn't know what to do.
Blood test results: W-MCR 0.123, W-LCR 0.451, MPV 9.0
The doctor said it was a viral cold.
Doctor's answer:
If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, use fever-reducing medication to prevent high fever convulsions. If accompanied by coughing, vomiting, or lethargy, seek medical attention promptly. Repeated fever occurs because the human body mobilizes the immune system to clear viruses after infection. Moderate fever is a normal response of the body to fight viruses. Parents should not expect doctors to use a single "miracle drug" to stop fever completely. During these days of fever, parents should encourage the baby to drink more water and get more rest. When the temperature is high and the baby feels uncomfortable due to fever, fever-reducing medication should be taken promptly.
