7-month-old with a temperature of 37.6°C: Should they take cold medicine?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious, not feeling well. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Please ask, should a 7-month-old child with a temperature of 37.6°C take cold medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Children can be treated with Xia'er Ganmao Ling, ibuprofen suspension, cefixime, and Qingkailing granules. If the fever persists, alcohol bathing can be used for treatment. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to investigate the underlying cause. There are many factors that can affect the respiratory system in children. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and to develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
