Patient's question:
Boy, 7 and a half years old. Yesterday, he said he had no energy all over, dizziness, headache, cough, and sweating. When his temperature was measured, it was 39 degrees Celsius. He took Panadol Yellow and Lianhua Qingwen. In the middle of the night, his fever got worse, and he took Ibuprofen granules. This morning, he still has a fever, and it's now 38.5 degrees Celsius. What kind of medicine can he take? I've always been reluctant to give my child antibiotics. If he doesn't take anti-inflammatory medicine without antibiotics, what other medicines can be combined? Since he's already taken Lianhua Qingwen, does that mean he doesn't need Qingkailing?Doctor's answer:
If the body temperature is below 38.5°C, give the baby fever-reducing medicine. It is generally taken every four to six hours. You can take either Lianhua Qingwen capsules or Qingkailing, but if the fever comes back repeatedly, you will need a blood test. If there is inflammation, you must take antibiotics. Antibiotics can be taken as Amoxicillin Clavulanate Potassium Granules or Cefaclor Granules for treatment. The above suggestions are for the question "What medicine should a child take for a fever that doesn't go down." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
