Question
My child had a fever of 38.2 degrees Celsius yesterday. After receiving an antipyretic injection, the temperature dropped to 35 degrees, but they were still crying and restless at night. Why is this? My child is currently breastfed and has received antipyretic injections before. How can I help them?
Answer
The child’s discomfort may require medication tailored to specific circumstances. Firstly, it’s important to identify the cause of the fever. If the child has a respiratory infection, additional oral medication may be necessary, along with monitoring body temperature and using antipyretic medication as appropriate. It is currently recommended to seek medical attention promptly and undergo a thorough examination.
