Patient's question:
The baby has had a fever for four days, with fluctuations, no other symptoms, a low-grade fever of over 39°C, and has been taking Roxithromycin and Xiao'er Chiqiao Qingre Granules. For fever reduction, Motrin and Acetaminophen suppositories have been used. After three days of medication, the baby is still running a low-grade fever of 39°C. Is this condition a cold?Doctor's answer:
According to your statement: an axillary temperature below 37 degrees Celsius is considered a fever. When a child's temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use a warm towel to wipe the armpits, groin, and other major arterial areas to help lower the temperature, every 10 minutes. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use fever-reducing medication to lower the temperature, and you can take Motrin according to the instructions. It is considered a viral infection. If oral medication is not very effective, it is recommended to seek medical attention for standardized intravenous treatment.
