Fever: Emergency Department or Outpatient Clinic

Patient's question:

Today I just came back from the check-up. I originally wanted to be hospitalized, but the doctor said all the indicators were normal and there was no need for hospitalization. He asked me to come in once a day. When I go next Tuesday, I'll ask to be hospitalized. My home is far away, and I'm afraid I won't have enough time.

Doctor's answer:

The baby has a cold and a fever, and it is more likely to be caused by a viral infection. There are no other symptoms, so home treatment can be considered.
The baby has a cold, with just a fever and no coughing. This is a very common situation. Hmm, if you see a doctor, you should go to the pediatric department. However, if the baby's fever isn't severe and there are no other symptoms, you can first drink more water at home and take some fever-reducing medicine to wait and see. Please see a doctor if the fever persists or lasts more than two days.
