Patient's question:
A three-year-old child has red lips and a fever of 38.2 degrees Celsius last night. They took fever-reducing medicine, and now their fever has subsided. They haven't had a bowel movement all night yesterday and today. They were also restless during their nap last night.Doctor's answer:
If this parent's child has a temperature of 38.5 degrees Celsius or higher, it is recommended to give the child oral fever-reducing medication promptly, such as ibuprofen suspension or acetaminophen drops. Currently, you can also coordinate with Xiao'er Chai Gui Tui Fei Granules, drink plenty of water, and drink vegetable soup. Avoid oily and spicy foods. Promptly take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination of blood tests, such as complete blood count and C-reactive protein, to check for bacterial or viral infections. If there are any, coordinate with anti-infection medications. Combining acupuncture treatment for children also yields good results. Drink plenty of vegetable soup, and hope this is helpful to you.
