Question
The child has had a persistently high body temperature since the day before yesterday, and neither taking antipyretic medicine nor physical coolingmeasures have shown any effect. What measures should be taken in the case of persistent high fever in children? Are there other more effective treatment methods?
Answer
Persistent high fever in children is often due to insufficient warming measures in recent days, leading to upper respiratory tract infections, or other viral infections are also possible. It is recommended to consult a hospital specialty department for further examination. At present, antipyretic medications can be considered, and medication should be taken according to medical instructions, while physical cooling measures can also be adopted. Encourage the child to drink more water recently to help regulate body temperature.
