Question
For two consecutive days, the fever has been 38-39 degrees, and I’ve also gone to the hospital where the doctor said it was a fever-induced anti-inflammatory medication. The fever doesn’t seem to be subsiding, and I’m starting to worry. What do you think? Previous treatment situation and effectiveness: Today’s consultation: The doctor said it’s not pneumonia
Answer
Firstly, I’m more than happy to clarify your concerns. Regarding your child’s situation, persistent high fever in children should not be ignored. Children’s normal body temperature ranges from 36.9℃ to 37.5℃, with a fever of about 38℃ considered low-grade, and reaching 39℃ is considered high-grade. Guidance: It is recommended that you first implement physical cooling measures for your child. Using alcohol to wipe the body has gone beyond the purpose of cooling. If the child continues to have a fever, it is advisable to take your child to a regular hospital for a thorough examination. These are my suggestions for the question ‘What should I do if low-grade fever persists for two days without any improvement?’ I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
