What should I do if my child has a fever for two months?

Patient's question:

What should I do if a child has a fever for two months? My son is four years old, and he has been having fever for the past two months, coming and going. No matter what medicine he takes, it doesn't work, and he has even had injections, but the fever only lasts for a day or two before coming back. I'm very worried about my son, and I don't know how to treat it.

Doctor's answer:

The child has had a fever for two months now and needs to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit promptly. If the infection recurs and is severe, it is more likely to experience the current symptoms again, or may also experience clinical symptoms such as fever. If the infection is severe again, it is best to decide on hospitalization for treatment. It is necessary to drink plenty of water, as this helps in the recovery of the illness. Oral medication should be taken under the guidance of a local doctor.
