Patient's question:
Child has a fever, coming and going, what should I do? I'm currently afraid of my child getting sick because once he gets sick, the whole family suffers. But my child keeps having recurring fevers, his temperature keeps hovering around 38 degrees. What should the doctor do?Doctor's answer:
First, identify the cause of the fever in the child to provide targeted treatment. Carefully observe the child for symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, sore throat, nausea, or vomiting. It is best for a doctor to conduct a physical examination and perform a blood test. If the fever occurs without any apparent reason, it cannot be ruled out as a possibility of roseola. Currently, there is no need to administer fever-reducing medication orally. Physical cooling methods can be used, or the baby can be given an appropriate amount of warm water to drink.
