Question
The 1.5-year-old baby keeps having a fever, reaching up to 39 degrees, has already taken antipyretics three times. The question is whether it’s okay to take more and how to handle the situation where the fever subsides but then rises again.
Answer
The 1.5-year-old baby has a recurring fever with tonsillitis. When using antipyretics, it’s recommended to wait at least four hours between doses of the same medication and not exceed four doses per day. It is possible to alternate between different types of antipyretics. Additionally, attention should be paid to the baby’s other symptoms, and medical assistance should be sought promptly.
