Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some unknown reason, they keep scratching their ears. Please advise if the glands are swollen and if there is a fever.Doctor's answer:
In such cases, it is often considered infectious fever, which may be caused by viral or bacterial infections. Physical cooling methods should be adopted, such as applying cold compresses to the forehead. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, ibuprofen suspension can be used for medication to lower the temperature. Hospital treatment is required, including (atomization inhalation therapy), intravenous drip of antibiotics, hormones, antihistamines, antiviral drugs, etc. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods that are irritating in daily life.
