Question
The baby had a fever of 39.8 degrees Celsius yesterday, received a small injection at the hospital, and took some ibuprofen. The body temperature was 38.5 degrees Celsius last night, 37.6 degrees Celsius this morning, and 38.7 degrees Celsius after the afternoon nap. Some anti-inflammatory medication was taken, and ibuprofen again. The tonsils were slightly inflamed, and blood tests showed no significant issues, indicating a viral infection. Should I take the baby to get an intravenous drip today?

Focus on taking the medication; there is no need for intravenous therapy.
