The baby developed a fever around 14 days old and was treated in a local hospital, where the fever subsided. However, approximately 20 days later, the baby started having recurring fevers again, accompanied by symptoms of rapid breathing and phlegm in the throat. After being treated at Hainan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital for two weeks, the cause of the fever was still not found.
Answers
There are many possible causes of fever, including bacterial infections, viral infections, or catching a cold. When dealing with fever, it is important to choose medications with minimal side effects. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, it is recommended to drink plenty of water to cope with it. If the temperature goes above 38.5°C, it is advisable to actively use fever-reducing medication and physical cooling methods. Staying hydrated is also very important, and blood tests may be necessary to determine the cause if needed. Following these suggestions can lead to improvement in the condition.
