What should I do if my son has a fever of 39 degrees?

Patient's question:

My son has a fever, for three days, 39 degrees, what should I do? How should I treat my child's fever symptoms?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition is considered to be caused by infections such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, etc. It is important to identify the underlying cause. If the child is very young, it is recommended to visit a hospital. I don't know if there is any coughing or phlegm, but timely medication and treatment are needed. If the child has severe coughing or high fever, it can easily lead to pneumonia. If necessary, go to the hospital for a lung CT scan to check for any issues. Since the child has had a high fever for 3 days, it is necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous fluids to reduce inflammation and provide symptomatic treatment. Do not delay the treatment.
