The child has a fever for five or six days and still doesn't return it. What should I do?
The basal body temperature of normal children is 36.9℃~37.5℃. Generally, when the body temperature exceeds the basal body temperature 1℃, it can be considered as fever. Among them, low fever means that the body temperature fluctuates around 38℃, and high fever means that the body temperature is above 39℃. Continuous fever for more than two weeks is called long-term fever.

The above-mentioned basal body temperature refers to the rectal temperature, that is, the oral temperature is 0.3℃~0.5℃ lower than that measured from the anus, and the axillary temperature is 0.3℃~0.5℃ lower than that of the oral temperature.

My principle is below 38.5 degrees, don't take antipyretics, take antipyretic injections, and give your baby plenty of water. Pay attention to whether the ambient temperature is too high. In the hot summer, the temperature is very high, and the baby's ability to regulate body temperature is poor. When the mother holds the baby, the hot air is not easy to dissipate, which makes the body temperature rise. However, this kind of fever generally won't last long. Put it in a cool place, fan it a little, drink some cool fruit juice for the child, or take a warm bath for the child. After a few hours, the temperature will drop to normal. In winter, if the indoor temperature is too high and the baby is wrapped too much, it will also raise the baby's body temperature.

If the fever is above 38.5 degrees, please immediately ask the doctor to confirm whether it is viral infection or bacterial infection. For viral infection, use antiviral drugs (such as ribavirin), and for bacterial infection, use antibiotics (such as cephalosporins). Don't rush to reduce the fever. The fever is just a symptom. Find out the cause.

Besides, what I want to say is not to be superstitious about infusion. The doctor said that those who can take medicine should not be injected, and those who can be injected should not be infused. The key is to use the right medicine, not the heavy medicine.

Pay attention to whether there is bacterial or viral infection.

The main symptoms and causes are as follows:

A fever with a runny nose-a cold (cold syndrome)

Sore throat-pharyngitis, tonsillitis

Persistent fever of about 39℃, bloodshot white eyes and watery eyes-swimming pool fever.

When you have a high fever in a high temperature place, you are exhausted-heatstroke (sunstroke)

Parotid swelling-mumps

Ear running water and emotional instability-otitis media

Cough out of breath, dyspnea-pneumonia

Red gums and excessive saliva-stomatitis

Vomiting, cramp, protrusion of anterior fontanel-meningitis

Vomiting, cramping, unconsciousness-pneumonia, acute encephalopathy

Frequent urination, hematuria-urinary tract infection

At the same time of fever, convulsion-heat cramp

My child once had a fever, and yes, the antipyretic medicine was taken, and soon it went down. After a few hours, it burned again, and so on. I was sent to the hospital and had a blood test. It was a fever caused by viral infection. One of the characteristics of viral infection is repeated fever. The doctor didn't prescribe an antipyretic needle or an infusion bottle, but only prescribed three anti-virus needles. After three days of playing, he didn't get taller again.

In addition, don't give children the same medicine for a long time. According to the regulations of the Medical Insurance Bureau, the dosage of emergency medicine should not exceed 3 days, and the dosage of outpatient medicine should not exceed 5 days. If the condition is still not improved within the specified number of days, please go to the hospital again and make a prescription.
