Question
My 29-month-old baby has a high fever. During the day, after taking the Meilin fever-reducing medicine, the temperature is maintained between 37.2 and 37.5 degrees Celsius, but it rises to 38.2 degrees Celsius at night. This morning, it was 38.8 degrees Celsius. What could be the cause?
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the baby may have a respiratory infection. The test results have not been provided, so it is not possible to determine whether there is a bacterial or viral infection. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, eat a light diet, and consider oral Chinese medicine treatment. Full recovery usually takes one course of treatment, typically 3-5 days to control body temperature. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
