Patient's question:
The child is six months old and started running a fever yesterday afternoon. Medication is given every four hours. Why is the child still running a fever, and what should be done?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of the child are considered to be tonsillitis, possibly caused by catching a cold, which can lead to recurrent fever. It is recommended that you give the child the medication you mentioned. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you need to take fever-reducing medication. Give the child more warm water, pay attention to observing the child's overall condition, keep warm, and avoid catching a cold. If there is no improvement after taking the medication, it is necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous treatment promptly.
