Question
My four-month-old baby has been running a fever continuously for two days. What should I do? The baby’s body temperature drops to 38 degrees or 38.6 degrees after waking up in the afternoon for two days, and after applying a fever-reducing patch and taking Meilin, Viral Liquid, Qingkailing, and cold medicine, the fever returns to normal about three hours later. However, these symptoms have been persistent for two days. The previous treatment was for bronchitis. What should I do?
Answer
The baby’s body temperature drops to 38 degrees or 38.6 degrees after waking up in the afternoon for two days, and after applying a fever-reducing patch and taking Meilin, Viral Liquid, Qingkailing, and cold medicine, the fever returns to normal about three hours later. However, these symptoms have been persistent for two days. This may be due to an unresolved respiratory infection. It is recommended to continue monitoring the infection situation and antiviral treatment is correct. Please note warmth and drink plenty of water. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby good health!
