Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old. He caught a cold from the cold and has a slightly high temperature. After taking medicine, he started to develop low-grade fever that persists and won't go away. What should I do if the high fever in children always doesn't subside?Doctor's answer:
You can first give the child a little fever-reducing medicine and apply physical cooling methods. Measure the child's temperature every half hour to see how it rises. Take the child to the hospital for a blood test to confirm the cause of the fever. Only then can symptomatic treatment help the child recover quickly from the fever. During the fever period, try to give the child more hot water and keep the air circulating at all times.
