Question
How should one handle a child who keeps on having a fever?
Answer
The child had a fever yesterday and received a shot to bring down the temperature. However, by 3 PM today, the fever suddenly returned. We gave her another shot in the evening. We discovered that the tonsils were inflamed. The child’s recurrent fever is likely due to incomplete elimination of inflammation in the hospital. While giving him a bath last night, we noticed several small red dots on his upper body. This might be an allergic reaction. It is necessary to switch to other anti-inflammatory drugs. If the child’s body temperature drops below 35.8 degrees Celsius, you can use rectal fever-reducing medication or a forehead fever-reducing patch. However, it is recommended that the child be hospitalized for close observation, which can help the baby recover.
