Patient's question:
Infant sublingual body temperature is 38.5. Can amoxicillin be taken?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None
Desired assistance: A 1.5-year-old infant's sublingual body temperature, measured with a thermometer, shows 38.5 degrees. The child has a red face, appears listless, and has a very hot head. I have applied a fever reducer patch to the child. Additionally, can I give the child amoxicillin, calibavir, and paracetamol with antihistamine granules? The child got cold last night because they didn't cover themselves with a blanket. The child is a bit fussy.

Doctor's answer:
For this situation, you can temporarily take it this way. This can help with anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing effects, as well as thoroughly clearing the virus. However, excessive use of medication may not be as effective for the child's illness.Recommendation: First, go to the hospital for a complete blood count to determine what pathogen is causing the infection. Confirm targeted medication and, if necessary, receive intravenous treatment, as children are prone to pneumonia or convulsions, especially those with fever. This method of medication is acceptable, but targeted treatment is best. Additionally, the dosage should be one-third of an adult's dose.
