Question

The baby had a fever last night and took fever-reducing medicine. This morning, the fever subsided, but it rose again to 38.5 degrees Celsius in the afternoon and to 39.5 degrees Celsius in the evening. During this period, the baby drank water but did not take any more fever-reducing medicine. There was sweating, but the body temperature did not drop, and the baby vomited once.

Answer

Fever in children is often related to infections, including bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. First, you can use acetaminophen orally and use Da Qing Ye oral liquid. If the body temperature rises again to below 38 degrees Celsius, it should be taken seriously. At home, you can perform physical cooling measures such as cold compressing the forehead, drinking more water, or taking oral fever-reducing medication. If there is persistent fever or other symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
