Question
A 14-month-old baby (my little sister) has been continuously running a fever, with the highest temperature reaching 39.3 degrees Celsius. She has taken fever-reducing medication four times from 1 PM yesterday to 6 AM today. What should we do if the condition worsens? Her older brother had a seizure before, and we are very worried.
Answer
Based on the child’s test results, the possibility of viral infection is relatively high. It is recommended to use Oseltamivir promptly. If the child continues to have a high fever and is in poor mental condition, consider hospitalization and follow the doctor’s treatment advice. Fever-reducing medication can be taken up to four times a day, and if the effect is not satisfactory, you can switch to other types of fever-reducing medication. To prevent another seizure from occurring, active fever reduction is necessary when the baby is feverish.
