How to handle recurrent fever in a 3.5-year-old child

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How should I handle a 3.5-year-old child with recurrent fever?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it usually involves symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured temperature does not need to be adjusted by 0.5 degrees—anything above 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can use pediatric paracetamol and chuanxindong granules for treatment. Drink plenty of water and pay close attention to keeping warm. In necessary cases, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.
There are many causes that can lead to respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
