Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How should I handle a 5-month-old baby with a fever?Doctor's answer:
If there is no herpes and no other discomfort, just a fever, it could be caused by a viral infection or inflammation. It is best to take the child to the hospital for a blood test to check the blood routine. If it is caused by a virus, it is recommended to take antiviral medications such as Qingkailing Granules or Ribavirin Granules (Xinbolin). For anti-inflammatory medications, such as Amoxicillin Granules (Taierxin). If the fever is above 38.5°C, additional fever-reducing medication such as ibuprofen suspension can be added.
