Question
Dear Expert! My son is ten months old, and a few days ago, he had a fever of 38.5 degrees. After being diagnosed and hospitalized, his fever situation kept worsening. The doctor used various fever-reducing medications. Why did the condition worsen after hospitalization?
Answer
If the fever is caused by a viral infection or other infectious disease, it is very serious. Repeated fevers may indicate persistent inflammation. It is recommended to treat symptoms promptly, as prolonged high fever can cause severe problems for children. It is important to seek professional medical help and care for the child according to medical instructions.
