Question
The child is six months old and started having a fever yesterday afternoon. The medicine is given every four hours. Why does the child still have a persistent fever, and what should I do?
Answer
The child’s symptoms may be recurrent fever caused by tonsillitis. It is recommended that you continue to administer the medication, consider giving a fever-reducing medicine if the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, and ensure the child drinks plenty of water. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold. If there is no improvement, please seek medical attention promptly.
