Patient's question:
Child has recurrent fever, reaching over 39 degrees Celsius, what to do?Doctor's answer:
Considering it might be a fever caused by a viral cold, generally there is no specific medication for viral colds, and the fever may last for about three days. If the high fever does not subside or persists beyond three days, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out the possibility of infection and consider treatment with anti-inflammatory medications. You can have a blood test done at the hospital to determine whether it is a viral or bacterial infection.
