Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How do you reduce fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it is common to have symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be adjusted by adding 0.5 degrees; a temperature above 37 degrees is considered a fever. Acetaminophen and chlorpheniramine granules can be used for treatment. Drink plenty of water and pay attention to keeping warm. In case of necessity, intravenous fluids can be administered for treatment.There are many factors that can affect the respiratory system in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
