What if your child’s fever doesn’t go down after taking medicine?

If your child’s fever doesn’t go down after taking medication, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time to find out the cause of your child’s fever and take the appropriate treatment, such as taking antiviral drugs, antibacterial drugs, and so on. The causes of fever are commonly infectious, such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. At this time, you can not take fever-reducing drugs alone, but also need to treat the cause. If the fever is caused by an influenza virus infection, antiviral medication (e.g. oseltamivir) can be given. If the fever is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotic medication (e.g., cefixime) should be used. In addition, it is also necessary to clarify whether the dose of fever-reducing drugs is not enough, whether the drug has expired, etc.. Therefore, if your child’s fever does not go down after taking medication, you should consult a doctor to find out the cause of the fever and follow the doctor’s instructions to treat the cause of the fever, and do not blindly use your own medication.
