Question
What should I do if my child has been running a fever for two months? My son is four years old, and he has been having a fever for the past two months, coming and going. No matter what medicine we give him, it doesn’t seem to work, and he’s also been given injections, but the fever returns after a couple of days. What should I do? I’m very worried that something might be wrong with my son, and how should he be treated?
Answer
If a child has been suffering from a fever for two months now, it is necessary to visit the hospital for a follow-up examination promptly. If a more severe infection occurs again, it is more likely to lead to the recurrence of the current symptoms, as well as the reappearance of fever and other clinical diagnostic symptoms. If a severe infection recurs, it is best to decide on inpatient treatment. It is important to drink plenty of water, which can help in the recovery from the illness. Medications should be taken under the guidance of a local doctor.
