Patient's question:
The baby has had a fever for 4 days. They went to the hospital, and the doctor prescribed Huichun Granules, Cephalexin Granules, and Chaihu. After taking them, the fever keeps recurring. Today, they noticed many red spots on their body, with more on the forehead and chest. Is something wrong? The elders in the family said that if something is coming out, it shouldn’t be suppressed and should be allowed to come out completely. But after taking fever-reducing medicine for several days, does it still pose a problem?Previous treatment and effectiveness: Went to the hospital, and the doctor prescribed Huichun Granules, Cephalexin Granules, and Chaihu.

Help needed: Is something wrong? Does taking medicine for several days still pose a problem for it?
Doctor's answer:
This is more common in cases of roseola and rubella. For these two diseases, there is no special or effective treatment. They are both caused by viruses. We can appropriately give the child some oral antiviral medication. At the same time, in daily life, it is important to appropriately give the child more warm water to drink, try to avoid getting wet, prevent catching a cold, and pay attention to changes in the child's body temperature.
