Patient's question:
Boy baby, how many months old, has been having a fever recently. It's the kind where the fever goes down but then comes back again, happening repeatedly. He's eating dinner normally but crying non-stop. What could be the reason for a 5.5-month-old baby having recurrent fever?Doctor's answer:
Children often develop a fever due to upper respiratory infections. When the temperature is above 38.5°C, fever patches can be used to lower the fever. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, it is necessary to take fever-reducing medication in coordination.Pay attention: if the child's fever persists without improvement or if it frequently recurs, take the child to the hospital for a blood test to check for infections. It could also be a fever caused by pediatric emergency conditions, which generally does not last more than three days and may reappear as a rash after the fever subsides.
Carefully observe the child, enhance daily care, monitor the temperature, and drink more water. The patient should develop a regular sleep schedule, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise. This will help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of illness.
