Patient's question:
Patient is male. He visited the hospital for examination and was found to have inflamed lymph nodes. Blood routine test showed increased white blood cells. The tongue is dark yellow and greasy. The throat has pus, nasal congestion, loose stools, and diarrhea. High fever of 40 degrees Celsius. The temperature decreases after taking fever-reducing medicine, but it rises again to 40 degrees Celsius after 5 to 6 hours.Doctor's answer:
Currently, it is unclear what is causing the baby's fever. It is best to go to the hospital for a blood test to check the blood routine and see if there is a bacterial or viral infection causing the fever. It is recommended that fever should not be treated with a single oral antipyretic medication, as this approach only addresses the symptoms and does not treat the root cause. Treatment should focus on identifying and addressing the underlying cause. As long as there is no inflammation or viral infection, the baby will not have a fever.
