Question
I am 36 years old and have been feeling unwell recently. I sometimes get dizzy during the day, which affects my work, and I can’t sleep at night. Even after taking medication, there’s not much improvement. What is the situation if a baby’s fever drops and then rises again?
Answer
Firstly, it is essential for a doctor to confirm whether the baby’s fever is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. For viral infections, antiviral medications such as ribavirin can be used; for bacterial infections, antibiotics like cephalosporins are recommended. It is important not to rush to reduce the fever, as fever is just one symptom. Identifying the cause of the illness is key. Additionally, avoid giving the child the same medication for an extended period to prevent drug resistance.
