Question
The baby suddenly developed a fever at night, I don’t know if it’s because he was chilled during the day! I measured the temperature twice and it was 38.5! In the morning, I measured it two or three times and it was 38.3, once 37.8. I gave him some fever-reducing medicine and ate some steamed bun with pumpkin cake, but then he fell asleep again! Just measured it again and it was 37.9! Should I take him to the hospital in this condition?
Answer
I’m glad to clarify this question for you. The situation you mentioned is as follows: You measured the temperature twice at night and it was 38.5, with intermittent fever. This situation should be considered as infectious fever. If the baby continues to have a high fever and is not feeling well, it is advisable to visit the hospital for a re-examination. These are my suggestions for the question “What to do if a child suddenly develops a fever at night?”, hoping they will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
