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. How should I treat a child with a fever?Doctor's answer:
Caused by a common cold, drink more water. Rest as much as possible and take fewer medications. Monitor the progress closely. The fever should subside and recovery should occur within about 72 hours. If the cause of the fever is not clear, it is not advisable to use fever-reducing medications indiscriminately, as this may delay diagnosis. It could be caused by bronchitis, requiring treatments such as infection control, expectoration and cough relief, spasm relief and asthma relief, and inhalation therapy. Engage in physical exercise to enhance physical fitness and improve the immune function of the body.
