Question
Two days ago, the baby had a fever of 38.6°C. After going to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that the fever had reached 39.2°C, and the doctor diagnosed it as tonsillitis with elevated white blood cells. The baby has been receiving intravenous drips for two days, and after the fever subsided, it rose again to 39.3°C this morning. I would like to know how to handle and prevent recurrence.
Answer
If a baby’s fever exceeds 39°C, immediate measures to reduce the fever should be taken, including the use of antipyretics and physical cooling methods such as applying a damp towel to the forehead or wiping the limbs with warm water. Encourage the baby to drink plenty of water, which helps in lowering the fever. Since the fever recurs, it may be due to incomplete inflammation treatment. Elevated white blood cells should be treated with antibiotics and supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine for cooling and detoxification, such as Qingkailing Oral Solution. I hope the baby recovers soon and enjoys a healthy body and life.
