Can children with recurrent fever from pneumonia take fever-reducing medication?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I always can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel my heart racing and feel uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Can children with repeated fever from pneumonia take fever-reducing medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, general oral fever-reducing medications can control the body temperature within 4-6 hours. After that, the temperature may rise again. The fundamental treatment is still to address the illness and reduce inflammation. You can try giving Ganlike and Magang Granules. Additionally, have a blood test done. If the blood test results are high, antibiotic treatment may be needed. Azithromycin works well. Make sure the baby drinks plenty of fluids. If the fever persists, you can take ibuprofen suspension orally. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
