Patient's question:
The child has been running a fever these past few days, feeling weak all over, dizzy, and alternating between chills and fever. The younger child in the family also has a viral cold and is running a fever. Now the older child has a temperature of 38.8 degrees. What medicine should they take?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it is currently the season when the flu is more prevalent. Antiviral oral liquid can be given for influenza, and if there is a fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication such as fever-reducing granules can be administered. I suggest that a complete recovery from a cold requires a process, and it generally takes about a week to fully recover. Don't be too anxious, pay attention to giving your child plenty of fluids, keep the indoor air fresh, avoid crowded places as much as possible, and maintain a light diet.
