Patient's question:
Our baby started running a fever suddenly this morning. At noon, we took his temperature, and it was as high as 39 degrees Celsius. I'm really worried he might have brain damage. I'd like to ask everyone what to do about a child with a fever?Doctor's answer:
When the baby experiences fever again, it is necessary to take antipyretic medication orally promptly to prevent further adverse consequences such as high fever convulsions. Physical cooling methods should also be used more frequently, and close attention should be paid to whether other discomfort symptoms reappear, including mental state and appetite. It is important to drink more water, maintain a light and hygienic diet, and avoid consuming greasy and poorly absorbable foods to prevent bowel movements.After the baby contracts the infection, fever may recur repeatedly, so it is necessary to monitor temperature changes.
