Question

A 5-month-old baby has been running a fever continuously. It started last night, and after taking medicine, the fever subsided for a while, but then it came back. After taking more medicine, it improved again, but now the fever has returned. The baby has already taken ibuprofen suspension and amoxicillin granules. Why does the fever keep coming back?

Answer

Based on the description, the baby may be suffering from a cold with wind and cold symptoms. It is suggested to take dispersing wind and cold medicine such as Jingfang Baidu Granules, and to accompany it with ginger and rock sugar water. Viral infections often lead to intermittent low fever, and usually the virus will stop reproducing after a week, so there is no need to be overly anxious. Drink plenty of water, ensure adequate rest. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, use cold compresses for physical cooling. For higher temperatures, use antipyretic medication. Fever has a process; if the baby is not feeling well or has other abnormalities, seek medical attention immediately. Wishing the baby a healthy recovery.
