Patient's question:
Still having frequent colds and fever during this period, it's making it hard to focus on school, and I keep missing practice sessions. Now, I've had a fever for the past couple of days, and my temperature has dropped very low even after it subsides. Even with thick blankets, I still feel cold. I don't know what's wrong with this child. I should ask the doctor what to do if the fever is too high after it goes down.Doctor's answer:
Children experiencing high fever after taking fever-reducing medication is a relatively common phenomenon. This is because taking fever-reducing medication often leads to significant sweating, which carries a large amount of heat away from the skin. At this time, you should give the child more water and pay attention to keeping warm to prevent chills. If the child's clothes get wet from sweating, it's important to change them into dry clothes promptly. Generally, the body can gradually return to normal within a few hours. Monitor the child's condition closely, and seek medical attention immediately if any other discomfort symptoms appear.
