Patient's question:
The baby has a fever of around 38.5°C at home. After taking ibuprofen to reduce the fever, it returned after a few hours. This happened repeatedly for six days. On the seventh day, the baby was hospitalized with a fever of 39.2°C. Tests revealed sepsis, a urinary tract infection, and moderate anemia. After receiving intravenous fluids, the fever stopped, but now the baby is always sleepy. What should I do? What is going on?Doctor's answer:
High fever has a significant impact on the body. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, it is due to the depletion of qi. Complete recovery requires time for adjustment. During this period, pay attention to a nutritious diet, get plenty of rest, and drink more water.
