Question
My child has a fever of over 39 degrees and took antipyretics, following the dosage instructions. The fever has receded, but the body temperature has been over 35 degrees for almost two days now. The child is in good spirits and can eat and play normally. Is this phenomenon normal?
Answer
This situation is likely due to the body temperature lowering effect of the antipyretic medication. As long as the child is in good spirits and eating normally, there is nothing to worry about. It is recommended to observe the child closely first. As long as the child remains in good spirits, eats normally, and sleeps well, there should be no problems, and recovery can be expected on its own.
