Question
The baby has had a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius for two consecutive days. After intravenous treatment, the fever has not subsided. Is it necessary to seek medical attention and undergo another round of intravenous treatment?
Answer
According to the description, if the baby’s body temperature does not exceed 39.5 degrees Celsius, oral anti-inflammatory medication and increased fluid intake can be tried first. Generally, the fever will naturally decrease after about three days of fever, so it is recommended to monitor the condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for medication.
