Question
The child has been running a fever of over 39 degrees for a while now. After taking ibuprofen, the child’s body temperature was normal for about six to seven hours, but then it shot back up to over 39 degrees. The fever-reducing medicine didn’t work, and blood tests have been done, diagnosing it as a viral infection.
