Patient's question:
Started running a fever yesterday, the temperature has been between 37.5 and 38 degrees for 2 days. Today, I went to the hospital and the doctor prescribed fever reducer patches and some medicine, but the fever hasn't gone down yet. How long does it usually take for a baby like this to break a fever?Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby has a cold caused by a weakened immune system after catching a cold, allowing bacteria or viruses to enter the body. The clinical symptoms include fever, runny nose, etc. I suggest giving your baby oral cold medicine such as Qingre Jiedu granules to clear heat and detoxify, drinking plenty of warm water, taking fever-reducing medication, and observing the baby more often in daily life. The diet should consist of light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold, hard, or irritating foods. Pay attention to preventing colds to help alleviate the cold.
