Patient's question:
The past two days, it was 38.5 degrees Celsius, so I went to the hospital. The doctor checked my tongue and listened to my ears, and everything was fine. A blood test revealed that the fever was caused by a virus. I took Cefixime and Tylenol. Later, I started coughing with phlegm, so I also took Ai Chang and Rening. Now I have some diarrhea. Today, my temperature is 37.6 degrees Celsius. Is it still a bit high? What should I do? Should I use a fever-reducing patch? Should I continue taking Cefixime and Ai Chang? Do I need to eat anything else?Past Treatment and Effects: I have some eczema.
Doctor's answer:
When children again show symptoms of fever and cough, parents should promptly measure their temperature. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be applied, such as washing the child's armpits, neck, chest, and other areas with warm water in sequence, placing an ice pack on the head, which can effectively help reduce their temperature. If the condition is severe or high fever requires medication, it is important to follow medical advice to prevent harm to the child due to improper medication use. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my baby's armpit temperature is 37.6 degrees Celsius?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
