Question
Yesterday, the baby had a fever of about 38 degrees repeatedly, and it rose to 39.5 degrees today, with intervals of about 5 hours. What should I do?
Answer
According to the results of the blood routine test, the baby may have a fever caused by a bacterial infection. It cannot be determined whether it is a urinary tract infection at this time. It is recommended to undergo a urine routine test to clarify whether there is a urinary tract infection. Antibiotics can be taken orally for anti-inflammatory treatment. If there is no relief of symptoms within two days, hospital intravenous treatment is required.
