Patient's question:
The baby is now nine and a half months old. Yesterday afternoon, she suddenly started having a fever without showing any cold symptoms. She just doesn't want to eat, isn't crying or fussing, and is in good spirits. Yesterday afternoon, her fever reached 38.5°C. I applied a fever reducer patch and gave her 1.5 milliliters of Meilin. By bedtime, her temperature had dropped to 36.9°C. However, by 4 a.m. today, her fever returned to 37.8°C. In the morning, it subsided again, but by noon today, it rose to 37.9°C. I gave her half a dose of Chai Gui antipyretic oral liquid and applied another fever reducer patch. Her temperature is still 37.9°C now. Should we see a doctor, and what might have caused the fever?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: A nine-month-old child has already been introduced to solid foods. The fever without a clear cause may be due to indigestion. Giving the child some digestive aid medication and combining it with fever-reducing medication should be sufficient. My child also experienced a similar situation once. In the future, giving the child digestive aid medication such as Jian'er Xiao Shi Koufei Liquid for a few days can help prevent indigestion and fever.Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
