Child has a fever of 37.5, IV drip is not working, what should I do?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if the IV drip for a 37.5°C fever isn't working?

Doctor's answer:

According to the symptoms you mentioned, they are mainly indicative of a viral-induced cold. For treatment, you can clear heat, detoxify, and dispel wind. Herbal medicine regulation can be considered, such as modified Yinqiao Powder.
There are multiple causes that can affect the pediatric respiratory system. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
