Question
The child’s fever stops when they take medicine but returns when they don’t. This situation occurs in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Although no tests or checks have been done before, the child has been taking medication for 5 days, but the condition does not seem to be improving. What should I do?
Answer
Your baby might be experiencing a drop in body resistance due to catching a cold, which allows bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma to invade the body and trigger symptoms such as fever and runny nose. I suggest you take your child for a blood routine test and a mycoplasma test to identify the cause and then prescribe medication accordingly. At the same time, ensure your child gets plenty of rest, drinks plenty of warm water, and has a diet that is light and easy to digest. Avoid cold, hard, or spicy foods that can be irritating and make sure to keep warm to prevent catching a cold again and worsening the condition. I hope my explanation can help you.
