Patient's question:
Symptom Description (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): Fever of 38.5 degrees, given ibuprofen suspension, cefixime, pediatric amoxicillin, and phenylephrine and chlorpheniramine granules, but it's not getting better.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the baby's body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, it is essential to take oral ibuprofen to reduce fever. Before using the fever-reducing medicine, make sure to shake it well. Additionally, if the fever-reducing medicine has been open for a long time, its effectiveness in reducing fever will be reduced. It is important to drink more water, as sweating can help lower the baby's body temperature. If there is no fever-reducing medicine available, some physical cooling methods can be used, such as placing a damp towel on the forehead, using a water bag as a headrest, etc. It is still recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test, and based on the test results, a clear diagnosis and guidance for further treatment can be provided.
