Patient's question:
Recently, my child has a fever of 39 degrees Celsius, and he is 9 and a half years old. He just has a high fever with some discomfort in his throat. We went to the hospital for treatment, and after a thorough examination, it was found that the high fever was caused by a bacterial infection. The doctor prescribed naproxen capsules, saying they are for fever reduction. However, I checked the instructions and found that there is no mention of fever reduction. Can this medicine actually reduce fever? What are the side effects of taking it? The doctor also prescribed compound zinc and bismuth granules, which are used to treat fever caused by non-bacterial infections. Why did the doctor prescribe this?Medical history and treatment outcomes:
Yanhusu Ning, cefixime sodium, and glucose intravenous injection provided what help?
How can naproxen capsules reduce fever? What are the side effects?
Besides this, are there any better fever-reducing medications?
Doctor's answer:
Naproxen capsules contain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing effects. Therefore, this medication also has a certain fever-reducing effect, but it is generally not used as a primary fever-reducing drug. For children with fever, medications such as Compound Zinc Ibuprofen Granules, Ibuprofen Suspension, and Acetaminophen can be taken. The above suggestions are for the question "Can Naproxen capsules be used for fever reduction?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
