Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is two years old this year. He started having a fever yesterday, and besides a few ulcers, because it wasn't very high, he just took some fever-reducing medicine at home and that was it. But who knew he had a very high fever at night and had to go to the hospital, but it still didn't come down. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If the child is two years old this year and has recently had a fever again, it is recommended to further improve blood tests such as a complete blood count and CRP to determine the cause of the fever—whether it is a viral or bacterial infection. Then, based on the test results, symptomatic antipyretic and anti-infective treatment should be administered. If the fever persists after taking oral antipyretic medication, it is suggested to further use intravenous antipyretic medication for symptomatic treatment.
