Patient's question:
Female, 3 years old, my baby was normal during the day, but suddenly started having a fever at night. I'm very worried and want to know why children always have recurrent fever?Doctor's answer:
Antipyretics only have a fever-reducing effect; if the cause is not addressed, the temperature may rise again. The effect of common antipyretics lasts for 4-6 hours. Therefore, after taking medication to reduce fever, the temperature may rise again after several hours. If it is a viral cold, the course of the disease is about a week, with high fever for 3-4 days. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment to prevent complications. There are many methods for treating diseases, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods will also vary. Therefore, patients need to go to a professional hospital for detailed testing as soon as possible to prescribe the right medicine.
