Patient's question:
My child is seven years old. The day before yesterday, they had a fever above 39 degrees. Over the past two days, they have been receiving intravenous drips of Ceftriaxone. They have also been taking antiviral oral liquid and Gentamicin. Today, after finishing the intravenous drip, they developed a fever of 38.5 degrees. I would like to ask how they should be treated further. With headaches and coughing, they have been receiving injections and medication for the past two days. I would like to ask if it is necessary to change the medication or if there is a better treatment method.Doctor's answer:
This suggestion is to give the baby medicine in a timely manner. Drink more water. When the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use ibuprofen suspension drops or acetaminophen sustained-release tablets to reduce fever. When the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, or frequently use warm water to bathe to lower the temperature, or use a fever-reducing patch to apply to the forehead to lower the temperature, which can have some fever-reducing and brain-protecting effects. The above is a suggestion for the question "What are better treatments for a child's fever," hoping it helps you, and wishing you health!
