Question
A patient experienced a fever for three days and after taking medication, the body temperature slightly decreased. However, a few hours later, it rose again to about 39 degrees Celsius. After taking Tylenol again, the body temperature dropped once more, but this situation has continued to alternate.
Answer
This condition may be classified as infectious fever. Before the treatment shows effectiveness, fever symptoms may recur. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for routine blood tests and further diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, the interval for taking antipyretic medication should be every 4 hours, with a maximum of 4 times a day. Do not overuse. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish you a speedy recovery.
