Question
How to Solve Persistent High Fever in Children?
Answer
Based on your description, the child currently has a severe infection, and the body temperature will not drop immediately. The temperature will decrease after the infection is controlled. Temperature is just a symptom; you now need to give your child plenty of water and closely monitor their mental state. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used instead of medication. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a non-specific response to tissue damage. Factors such as viral or bacterial infections, thrombosis, and immune complex deposition can lead to tissue damage. During the acute phase of tissue damage, some plasma proteins synthesized by the liver increase significantly, known as acute phase proteins, with CRP being the most pronounced change among them.
