Patient's question:
Infusion for 5 days, then taking medicine for 2 days (Xiyanheng), with no significant effect. Currently, the medication has been stopped for 5-6 days. Some doctors say it's unnecessary to intervene. The kind of assistance needed: Please seek expert guidance on what to do next.Doctor's answer:
Fever is the most common symptom of upper respiratory tract infection and also a protective response of the body. Mild fever slows down the body's metabolism, increases white blood cell count, and enhances immunity, which helps in the recovery from the illness. However, if the fever is too high, the body consumes more energy and may decrease resistance.Medical advice: In clinical diagnosis, if a child with fever is still playful and active, there is no need for fever reduction treatment. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever reduction treatment is recommended. If the child has a history of low-grade fever convulsions, fever reduction should be administered as soon as possible based on the actual situation.
