Question
What should be done if a child has a fever that does not subside after taking fever-reducing medication?
Answer
A baby’s fever may be due to an active immune response, and as long as the body temperature does not exceed 39.9°C, there is usually no need to be overly concerned. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to find the cause of the fever and receive treatment. While waiting for a follow-up appointment, physical cooling methods can be used to help the child feel more comfortable.
