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-ups haven't helped. How should I handle repeated fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, recurrent fever in children is often caused by colds, and the etiology is mostly viral infections. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment has certain advantages in this case. Medications such as Children's Cold Oral Liquid, Children's Clear Heat and Detoxify Oral Liquid, and Children's Clear Throat Granules are commonly used. Generally, if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, fever-reducing medications are recommended. Children's body temperature fluctuations are larger compared to adults. Therefore, you can wait and see, encourage more fluid intake, and apply moderate physical cooling. You can use alcohol to wipe the palms, soles, forehead, and armpits. Ice packs can be applied to the armpits. If the temperature does not show a decreasing trend, medication to reduce fever is still necessary.
