Patient's question:
The baby had a high fever of 38.3°C yesterday afternoon, but his mental state was still quite good. I gave him a pack of Anrik and then half a pack of Compound Fever Reducing Granules in the evening. However, this morning, the fever returned, so I gave him fever-reducing medicine and the fever-reducing granules again. Now he is sleeping soundly but the fever is still there. What kind of help do you need: Hello, what should I do? Should I take medicine?Doctor's answer:
If a child has a fever, it is recommended to start with physical cooling methods, such as applying lukewarm water or a low-concentration alcohol wipe to areas like the armpits and groin. When the temperature drops below 38.5 degrees, additional fever-reducing medication can be taken. This approach is both safe and effective, with minimal side effects. If oral medication is ineffective, consider taking medication.At the same time, carefully observe any changes in the child's symptoms. Redness and swelling in the mouth and throat often indicate a fever, accompanied by symptoms such as a runny nose, nasal congestion, and coughing. This suggests an upper respiratory infection. In addition to fever reduction, anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatments are also necessary.
