Question
Last night, the baby had a fever of 38.2 degrees Celsius. This morning, we went to the hospital for intravenous drip treatment, including an antiviral and a fire-suppressing injection. After coming home, we gave the baby fever-reducing medication, but the baby started running a fever again at 38.6 degrees Celsius in the evening. The blood test results show that monocytes are 0.04 points higher than normal. Everything else is fine. The baby is still running a fever. What should we do? Urgent! Urgent!
Answer
The baby’s current condition is likely due to tonsillitis caused by a bacterial infection, which is common in children and can be a manifestation of viral or inflammatory infections. It is recommended to provide timely nourishment and medication, while also paying attention to the baby’s digestive nutrition. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is best to use physical cooling methods and apply fever-reducing patches. It’s important to ensure the baby drinks an adequate amount of water and to keep a close eye on any changes in the baby’s body temperature.
