Patient's question:
The baby's temperature is now 38.9°C because of an allergy to antipyretic medicine. In the afternoon, only pediatric pharyngitis tablets and half a pack of Radix Isatidis were given. Then, a fever-reducing patch was applied, and in the evening, steamed coriander radish water was prepared for her to drink. The fever is still present now. What should be done?Past treatment history and effectiveness: Allergy to anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics.
Doctor's answer:
The normal axillary temperature is 36-37 degrees Celsius. If it is below 37 degrees, it can be trusted to be a fever, requiring active examination and care. Fever is a common symptom of illness and is the body's most defensive response to combat disease. However, if the temperature of a high fever patient is not effectively controlled and allowed to progress, it can cause great harm to the body. Therefore, for feverish patients, the following should be done: 1. Be patient, meticulous, and conduct a comprehensive and careful observation of the condition, paying attention to various symptoms described by the patient, closely monitoring changes in temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. Measure the temperature every 2-4 hours according to the condition.
