Question
My baby has been on intravenous drip for three days and has shown some improvement, but after returning home from the treatment today, the baby developed a high fever and continued to have a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius, even after taking fever-reducing medication. In the past, after taking medication in the morning, there was some relief, but by night the temperature reached 38.5 degrees Celsius again, and the fever-reducing medication was ineffective. What should I do now? Why isn’t the fever-reducing medication working? I have never encountered this situation before.
Answer
From the symptoms, fever could be one of the causes, and azithromycin or chrysin tablets can be taken to alleviate the symptoms. It is recommended to rest in bed and ensure adequate deep sleep, drink plenty of water, follow a low-sodium, low-fat diet, avoid smoking and alcohol. It is recommended to take amoxicillin clavulanic acid potassium dispersible tablets and traditional Chinese medicine for fever reduction, drink plenty of water, keep warm, and rest. Fever is a self-limiting disease, and without treatment, it usually improves on its own within a week.
