Patient's question:
Boy, 5 years old, my child has recently had a cold and fever. He has been coughing and sneezing, and his condition has been fluctuating. What should I do if my child's high fever doesn't subside at 39 degrees Celsius?Doctor's answer:
Use fever-reducing medication promptly to prevent the occurrence of high fever convulsions. If the low-grade fever does not subside, seek medical attention promptly to avoid worsening the condition. Pay attention to providing the baby with adequate hydration for timely digestion and take measures to prevent cold exposure. Open windows for ventilation in a timely manner, and maintain a diet based on light and easily digestible foods. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold exposure, consume light and soft foods in daily meals, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water.
