Question
My baby is now over seven months old. Starting from the 17th of this month, the baby has been suffering from repeated high fevers, reaching a peak of 40 degrees. We took the baby to see a doctor, and even after intravenous treatment, there has been no improvement. I want to know what could be the cause?
Answer
Based on your description, it is suspected that the baby may have a fever caused by a bacterial infection. Usually, controlling inflammation takes time, and some babies may need 5-7 days to recover from the fever. It is recommended that you follow the doctor’s treatment plan and continue with intravenous treatment.
