Why does the fever return after it has been relieved?
A high fever in children can be caused by common illnesses such as the common cold and tonsillitis, or more serious diseases like pneumonia, measles, or meningitis. Antipyretics can only relieve symptoms and do not have antibacterial or antiviral properties. It is important to determine the cause of the fever before administering any medication to avoid affecting the correct diagnosis and treatment of the illness.
For patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease, persistent fever even after receiving intravenous treatment may indicate a viral infection or other complications. Understanding the causes and taking appropriate treatment measures is crucial.
Considering the possibility of a cold, symptoms usually include coughing, phlegm, and fever.
Persistent fever after it subsides and recurs may be related to influenza virus infection, requiring fever-reducing measures and antibiotic treatment.
