Patient's question:
Indigestion, fever, sore throat inflammation. At 7 a.m., the fever broke after taking medicine, but it came back at night. How can it be treated? What medicine should be taken? It has been four months. The child's previous treatment and effectiveness: took some fever-reducing medicine. What kind of help do you want: how to treat it, what medicine to take. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Four-month-old children with fever are mostly considered to have viral infections. The first step is to take oral antiviral medications, such as Xiao'er Chai Gui Tui Re Ke Li or Pu Di Lan Xiao Yan Kou Fu Ye. The principle for fever reduction is that if the temperature is below 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication like Tylenol can be taken. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling patches can be used. If the fever persists, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test to check for bacterial infections. Bacterial infections require the use of antibiotics.
