Patient's question:
At 10 plus, high fever and shivering. Test results: Haven't gone for tests yet. A bit feverish in the morning, took medicine, no fever, but then at 10 plus at night, fever returned. Any way to reduce fever? Will it burn me badly?Doctor's answer:
Based on your child's condition, it is important to consider whether the high fever is caused by acute upper respiratory infection. If the temperature is below 39 degrees, it is necessary to treat the fever promptly to prevent harm to the brain. Chills are a physical response caused by the rise in body temperature.Recommendations:
- You can first use a damp towel to protect the head and brain.
- You can also apply it to areas where the temperature rises, such as the neck, armpits, thighs, and popliteal fossa.
- You can give your child Nimesulide granules orally or use infant fever-reducing suppositories rectally to lower the fever.
- You can also give Amoxicillin granules and Sanji Cold Relief granules for treatment.
- Encourage your child to drink light salt water frequently.
- If the high fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for intramuscular fever reduction and intravenous fluid treatment.
Wishing your child a speedy recovery! Thank you for consulting! I hope my explanation helps you.
