Patient's question:
My daughter has a cough with phlegm, and her high fever reached 38.4°C, but it has subsided somewhat to 37.55°C now.Previous treatment and effectiveness: She was given anti-inflammatory and cough-suppressing medications.
Help needed: Now, I want to know if she should still take Cai Gui Tui Re Kou Fu Ye (Chai Gui Heat-Reducing Oral Liquid) since her temperature is 37.55°C. Please let me know if you know the answer. Thank you very much.
Doctor's answer:
From your clinical diagnostic data, a body temperature of 37.5°C does not require the use of Chai Gui Tui Re Kou Fu Ye, as it may lead to hypothermia. In clinical diagnosis, children with a body temperature above 38°C generally do not need to use antipyretic agents. Additionally, anti-inflammatory drugs also have a fever-reducing effect. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. The above is the advice for the question "Can Chai Gui Kou Fu Ye be used at 37.5°C?", and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
