Question
The baby has been running a fever and won’t go down. After seeing a doctor and having a blood test, everything was fine, but the baby still has a fever. The child was given fever-reducing medicine to eat, but after taking it and sleeping for a while, the baby keeps crying, crying non-stop.
Answer
Firstly, it’s very common for children to have a clear fever symptom. Virtually every child has experienced a fever at some point. There are many reasons that can cause a fever, with many diseases potentially presenting with fever as a symptom or even as the primary clinical manifestation. Therefore, when a child has a fever, it’s a concern for every parent to know how to reduce the fever promptly. Measures for physical cooling (temperature reduction) should be implemented immediately, including: using lukewarm water to wipe the body, applying fever-reducing patches, drinking plenty of water to ensure adequate hydration, and more.
