Patient's question:
The child has a fever of 38.5--39.0 degrees for 4 days, and we have been giving her fever-reducing medication. Last night, at around 1:00 AM, she started to fuss! Today, when I saw her, she seemed listless. There are many red spots on her body, and they are quite large! I don't know what to do!Doctor's answer:
Hello. A nine-month-old baby has had repeated fever for four days. The temperature is between 38.5 and 39 degrees. Today, the baby is listless and drowsy, and many red spots have appeared on the skin, many of which are large. If the baby is not itchy and does not scratch with their hands, it could be roseola. If the baby is restless and scratching, it might be a drug allergy. It is recommended to go to the pediatric department of the hospital for a face-to-face consultation with a doctor. A blood test can help confirm the diagnosis. Remember. When the baby has a cold and fever, it is important to take medicine on time and drink more water.
