Question
After undergoing tests and receiving injections, a child’s fever does not subside. Why does the fever persist? How should it be handled?
Answer
There are various reasons for a child’s fever, often due to infectious causes such as the common cold. It is necessary to first identify the cause and then treat accordingly. High body temperature may lead to febrile convulsions in children, so cooling measures are required. Medications for cooling or physical cooling methods are typically used, with specific medication use following medical guidance.
