Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby went to the hospital three days ago because of low fever. The doctor said her throat was inflamed, but the child didn't cough, and he prescribed medication. She has been taking the medicine for three days now, and the fever has gone down. Does she need to continue taking the medicine? (Female, 2 years old)Doctor's answer:
The child reported a fever three days ago. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as a sore throat (viral infection). The child was prescribed Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for antiviral treatment and Anerning Granules for clearing heat and detoxifying. After taking the medicine for three days, the child's fever has subsided. The usual course of Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules is five days, so it can be taken for two more days. Anerning Granules should not be taken for more than one week, but it can be taken for four more days. Drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables, and maintain regular bowel movements.
