Patient's question:
Yesterday afternoon, I noticed the baby wasn't feeling well. That night, when I checked his temperature, it was 38.5°C. We used a fever-reducing gel, and his fever went down right away, but then it came back after a short while. When I checked his temperature again, it was 39.1°C. I tried to make him sweat by covering him up, but he didn't sweat at all. After an hour, when I checked his temperature again, it was 39.6°C. So, I took him to the hospital to get a fever-reducing injection. He was also a bit constipated, but it wasn't very watery. The doctor prescribed Bifidus bacteria tablets, transfer factor oral liquid, and ibuprofen. When we got home, his fever went down. The next morning, he didn't have a fever, but then it came back to 38.4°C at night. What's going on? Why is he having repeated fever?Doctor's answer:
Generally seen in purulent tonsillitis, pneumonia, enteritis, brain infections, and the initial stages of other infectious diseases, it is recommended to be hospitalized for a thorough examination to clarify the condition before further detailed tests. It is advisable to drink more water and consume more fruits, pay attention to rest, and physical cooling may be necessary if needed.This is the advice for the question "How to deal with a 9-month-old baby with recurrent fever."
