Question
The child has been crying and restless lately, with a persistent high fever. They have been hospitalized for two days and have taken Meloxicam, but there is no improvement. What should we do?
Answer
There can be many causes of fever, including infections, connective tissue diseases, or malignant tumors. First, you can use alcohol-based sponge baths to lower the temperature, then determine the specific cause of the fever. It’s not necessary to rush into medication. Hello, your situation requires intravenous administration of a large amount of antibiotics for treatment, along with oral hormones, antihistamines, antivirals, and other medications. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding mental stimulation.
