Patient's question:
The boy, who is 1 year and 10 months old, has had a fever of 38.7°C since 8 PM yesterday evening, accompanied by a dry cough without phlegm. He has been taking fever-reducing medication but has not taken anything to supplement it. At 2:30 AM last night, he took fever-reducing medication again and experienced dry vomiting, taking 2mg of it. He continued to take fever-reducing medication every four hours until 10:20 AM this morning, when his fever rose to 39.1°C. He took fever-reducing medication again but did not vomit. In the morning, he had a normal bowel movement. His cough has slightly improved today, with no phlegm, no nasal discharge, no eye discharge, or no tears. After lunch, he took Xiao'er Ke Chuan Ling Granules, and one hour later, he took 0.1g of Azithromycin. In the afternoon, after going to bed, he had another slightly loose bowel movement. Before breakfast, he took Xiao'er Ke Chuan Ling Granules again. At 6:30 PM after dinner, he took fever-reducing medication again, accompanied by dry vomiting, but did not take anything to supplement it. He is now sleeping. He took fever-reducing medication at 10 AM, 2 PM, and 6 PM, with intervals of about four hours each time. Will the doctor say he will gradually get better this way?Doctor's answer:
As long as the child is in good condition. Generally, medication will improve after 48 hours. But be mindful of the possibility of the child getting the flu. If other family members also have symptoms of fever and cough, be alert to the possibility of type A influenza. If the possibility of the flu cannot be ruled out.
