Question
My child had a high fever of 39.0 degrees yesterday, and now that it’s gone, her hands seem to be trembling. Previous treatment and outcome: We went to the hospital and were given fever-reducing medication. Desired assistance: What could be causing this with my child now?
Answer
Fever in children is often caused by infections, with common reasons including viruses, bacteria, and mycoplasma. Guidance: If the child has recurrent fever, consider that the infection has not been suppressed. Pay attention to the throat condition, check blood routine tests to confirm whether it is a viral or bacterial infection, and provide additional anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications. Mild cases can be treated with oral medications, but if the fever recurs after taking oral medication for more than 3 days, it is best to receive intravenous fluid therapy. The baby should rest well, drink plenty of water, and eat a light diet.
