Patient's question:
During the illness, the temperature was over 38 degrees Celsius. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the temperature rose, but it did not return to normal. What should I do? During the illness, I was prescribed medicine at the hospital to take home.Doctor's answer:
If the temperature remains high after using up the medication, it is recommended to use wet towels or similar items to wipe the skin to help lower the temperature. At the same time, the child should be given plenty of fluids, kept warm, and monitored regularly for temperature readings. If necessary, it is still important to seek medical attention promptly for suspected medication use. The child is at risk of hand, foot, and mouth disease, so the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is essential to carefully observe any changes in the child's symptoms and do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment for the illness.
