Question
The child started to have a fever in the evening yesterday, with a temperature reaching 38.5 degrees, which later climbed to 39 degrees. At 10:30 PM last night, fever medicine was administered, and the child’s temperature rose again to 39 degrees in the early hours of the morning. By 8 AM today, it had reached 39 degrees again. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
It seems the child is suffering from a viral infection and requires timely targeted treatment. It is recommended to administer fever-reducing medication, and at the same time, take antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection, drink plenty of water, and consume light and easy-to-digest foods.
