Question
The baby keeps on fevering for over a week, and the parents are unaware of the cause. The child is crying and restless, and the hospital examination has not yielded any results. How should one handle the situation of a baby repeatedly having a fever?
Answer
It is recommended to have the baby undergo a blood routine test to determine if the fever is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Simply using fever-reducing medication may not be sufficient; consider using antibiotics (such as cefixime granules) and antiviral drugs (such as ribavirin) for treatment. Meanwhile, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and uses medical alcohol for physical cooling.
