Patient's question:
Can Er Qing Ning and Xia Er An Fen Huang Na Min Granules be taken together? Or how long should there be an interval between taking them? My son has a fever of over 38 degrees and constantly has clear nasal discharge. Are these two medications suitable for his symptoms?Regarding assistance: Please have the doctor demonstrate the relevant techniques for the medications...
Doctor's answer:
Your child has a fever, which is caused by a viral infection. Bacterial infections can occur directly or after a viral infection. The main symptoms include fever, headache, dizziness, nasal congestion, runny nose, tearing, muscle aches, and fatigue. Some patients may also experience a loss of appetite.Recommendations:
Taking these two medications may help, but it is recommended that you also use antibiotics. Here is a reference plan for treatment:
1. Antiviral treatment: Use traditional Chinese medicine with heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, such as Shuanghuanglian oral liquid or Daqingye mixture.
2. Antibacterial treatment: Use penicillin-class antibiotics (e.g., Amoxicillin granules) or cephalosporin antibiotics. The medication duration is approximately one week.
3. Symptomatic treatment: If the child has a high fever, theoretically, medication should only be given if the temperature drops below 38.3°C. However, in clinical practice, medication is usually given if the temperature exceeds 38°C. Use a compound preparation containing ibuprofen or nimesulide to reduce fever. Additionally, prepare infant fever reduction suppositories for rectal use before bedtime to prevent high fever seizures if the child's temperature drops at night.
If the condition is not severe, it is recommended not to use lung-cleaning medications. Instead, use blood-cooling medications like Chuangbei Xueli Gao to promote phlegm discharge, which can help reduce cough symptoms. If the cough is severe, short-term use of cough-suppressing medications like Benzydamine can be considered.
