Patient's question:
The child has caught a cold recently and later developed a high fever. After receiving an intravenous drip at the hospital, the fever subsided somewhat, but it returned the very night they went home. Even after taking fever-reducing medication, the fever still wouldn't break. I'm wondering what to do when a child's high fever doesn't respond to fever-reducing medication?Doctor's answer:
A fever shot can be administered to the child to reduce fever. If the child's temperature is above 38.5 degrees, fever-reducing medication should be given, and physical cooling methods can also be applied. This can have a good effect on reducing fever. If the fever does not subside after taking fever-reducing medication, it is essential to take the child to the hospital for a fever shot to avoid any adverse effects on the child's body.
