Question
The child has had a persistent fever for several days without improvement, suddenly woke up during a nap and experienced seizures. What was the past treatment and its effectiveness? What kind of help are you seeking?
Answer
The recurrence of persistent low fever in children may be caused by a virus or inflammation. Please closely monitor for any other symptoms to determine the appropriate medication, such as antiviral oral liquid or amoxicillin. It is recommended to bring the child to a regular hospital for a routine blood test to determine the type of infection and further treatment. If the child’s body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is important to administer fever-reducing medication such as ibuprofen promptly to prevent high fever convulsions.
