Question
Lately, my child has been suffering from low-grade fever, and today their temperature dropped below 38.5 degrees, along with convulsive symptoms. I would like to ask what kind of measures should be taken when a child has a fever with convulsions? Additionally, what is the treatment approach for low-grade fever in systemic erythematosus complications?
Answer
Systemic erythematosus is an autoimmune disease, and fever may indicate an infection, which can be treated symptomatically. Usually, detailed diagnosis can be made through blood culture, and treatment with antibiotics, antipyretics, or even hormone therapy for systemic erythematosus can be considered based on the results of the culture. There are many treatment methods for the disease, which vary according to the patient’s condition. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention as soon as possible for professional detailed testing to ensure appropriate medication.
