Question
How should I handle abdominal pain and high fever that occur every three to five days?
Answer
This condition is often seen in respiratory tract infections. After examination, the blood count is elevated, and timely anti-inflammatory treatment should be initiated. If the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication such as ibuprofen can be taken, and fluids should be replenished. The treatment course usually lasts about 7 days. At the same time, if the child is diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disease, treatment should be coordinated with the doctor, including methods such as gastrointestinal pressure reduction, and good hygiene habits should be cultivated. Parents should also pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
