Question
Why does a child with a high fever of 39 degrees, who takes antipyretic medicine and then feels hot again?
Answer
This season, most cases of fever in children are related to influenza virus infection, or they may be related to bacterial infection. It is recommended to give the child plenty of warm water to drink, use warm water to wipe the body for physical cooling, and take antipyretic medicine at intervals of 4-6 hours. If the child’s mental state is poor, intravenous treatment may be required. If it is a bacterial infection, antibiotics may be needed.
