Last night, the temperature rose to 38.5°C again, and they took fever-reducing medicine once more. Today, besides the feverDoctor's answer:
When a child has a fever, the first consideration should be to let them sweat it out. If the child has a fever accompanied by nasal congestion, yellow nasal discharge, yellow tongue coating, and a red throat, it is recommended to take Yinqiao Jiedu pills and azithromycin. If the child has a fever accompanied by nasal congestion and clear nasal discharge, a white tongue coating, and a non-red throat, it is recommended to take Ganmao Ruangan pills along with azithromycin. If the symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to go to the hospital for blood tests, including a complete blood count, mycoplasma, C-reactive protein, and a chest X-ray. Then, treatment can be targeted at the specific cause.
