Question
The child has had a fever for two days and visited the hospital. The doctor prescribed ibuprofen and some fever-reducing granules (the specific name is not remembered), and sweats heavily at night like taking a bath while sleeping. Parents are asking what to do.
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the baby may have an acute upper respiratory infection causing the fever, usually caused by viral infection, which is self-limiting with a course of about 7 to 10 days. It is recommended to drink plenty of warm water, change damp clothes in time to avoid catching a cold, and pay attention to observe any changes in the condition.
