Patient's question:
My son has been having prolonged fever every time, usually lasting for more than a week, and it's always low-grade fever. I'm really worried about this child burning like this, his brain might really have problems again, it's very serious. What are the reasons for high fever that doesn't subside in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child exhibits persistent high fever again, this is likely caused by an inflammatory infection. It is recommended to actively implement medication treatment. Oral antiviral drugs can be considered to address the fever symptomatically. If there is no improvement, it is advisable to seek further examination in the pediatric department of the hospital early on. This may require tests such as a complete blood count, chest X-ray, and bacterial culture.
