What should I do if my child has repeated high fever due to viral infection?

Children's physical health is prone to some problems. Among them, colds and fevers are important factors that threaten children's health. Most children will experience several colds and fevers, causing serious damage to the body. Viral colds and fevers need to be taken more seriously, because they are prone to recurring and difficult to treat completely. Let’s take a look at what to do if your child has a viral infection and repeated high fever?

1. Measure body temperature regularly:

If a child has repeated fevers, parents must always accompany the child, measure the child's temperature regularly every day, and pay attention to the child's temperature. If the child has repeated high fevers, it means there is inflammation, and the fever cannot be reduced by medication alone.

2. Look at the child's condition and diet:

If a child has repeated fevers, his mental state must be bad. Parents should always pay attention to the child's condition, especially the child's diet and food intake. If the child has anorexia and does not want to eat, it means that the condition is serious and parents should rush to a large hospital for treatment.

3. Don’t procrastinate:

As parents, we must not take it lightly or indifferently when children have repeated fevers due to the influenza virus. We cannot just let children take antipyretics, as that will only delay the disease and the child's treatment.

4. Conduct testing:

When children have repeated fevers, most parents will not take their children's blood for tests. They think that the fever is just caused by a common cold and will not take it too seriously. Colds are the most complicated conditions and require tests to determine whether it is caused by the influenza virus or a bacterial infection. Only after the cause is determined can the correct medication be used.

5. Regular large hospitals:

If a child has recurring fever and does not get better in a rural clinic and continues to have recurring fevers, then the parents should not treat the child in the village but go to a city hospital to avoid delaying the child's condition.

6. The sooner the better professional treatment:

It is not a trivial matter for children to have recurrent fever, especially for children with recurrent fever. If the treatment is delayed, it will turn into pneumonia or even more serious consequences. Therefore, children with recurrent fever, especially high fever, who take medicine to reduce the fever or even have an IV drip but the fever does not go away, should not stay in the county hospital. After all, the conditions are limited.
