Patient's question:
What did the child have on the first day? 37.8, then 38.5, and the highest fever at night was 39.7. The child had a fever. On the third day, in the morning, I took the child to the hospital, and they said it was a viral infection. On the fourth day, the child occasionally coughed but didn't have a fever and kept hiccuping, expelling a lot of nasal mucus. By the early morning of the fifth day, the child had started burning again at 37.6. Should I take the child to the hospital for medicine?Doctor's answer:
In this case with the baby, it is still considered to be caused by a viral infection, and medication is not necessary. The rise in temperature is actually a sign that the condition is improving. The key is to ensure the baby drinks plenty of fluids. You can give them children's cold medicine granules and antiviral granules orally, while also boiling some pear water, white radish water, and honeysuckle water to clear heat, detoxify, and reduce fever. At the same time, give the baby immunity-boosting medication. When going out, it is essential to wear a mask. The above advice is for the question "The child's temperature was 37.8 on the first day and then 38," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
