Patient's question:
On the 26th morning, I had a fever of 38 degrees Celsius and went to the hospital to receive two days of intravenous drips. Today, on the 28th morning, I again had a fever above 38 degrees Celsius and went to the hospital for a blood test, which came back normal. The doctor only prescribed injections. However, less than three hours after coming home, my fever returned to above 38 degrees Celsius and has been persistently high. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, it is often considered infectious fever, which may be caused by viral or bacterial infection. Physical cooling methods should be adopted, such as applying cold compresses to the forehead. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, ibuprofen suspension can be used for medication to reduce fever. The main treatment is to address the underlying cause, and a blood test should be conducted for reference in treatment.
