Patient's question:
The child has been having recurrent fever. How can this virus infection get better? It's the fourth day now, and it's getting worse day by day.Doctor's answer:
When the temperature is high, it is above 39°C. A fever lasting more than two weeks is called a prolonged fever. The principle is that if the temperature is below 38.5°C, do not take fever-reducing medication or get a fever shot. The baby should be given more water. Pay attention to whether the environmental temperature is too high. In hot summer, the temperature is high, and babies have poor ability to regulate their body temperature. When the mother holds the baby, the heat is not easily dissipated, causing the temperature to rise. In winter, if the indoor temperature is too high and the baby is wrapped too much, it can also cause the baby's temperature to rise. Do not use the same medicine on the child for a long time. The medical insurance bureau has regulations that the amount of emergency medication should not exceed 3 days, and the amount of outpatient medication should not exceed 5 days. If the condition has not improved within the specified number of days, please go to the hospital again for treatment and get a new prescription.
