Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Can babies take paracetamol for fever caused by insect bites?Doctor's answer:
Bites from insects are generally not associated with fever. However, if an infection occurs, fever may develop. Inflammation is characterized by redness and swelling. The treatment principle is to reduce inflammation and alleviate heat. Medications such as Hualeishui (Herbal Wash), Qingliangyou (Cooling Balm), and erythromycin can be used. For fever reduction, ibuprofen suspension can also be applied. Drink plenty of water and avoid spicy or heat-inducing foods. Based on your current condition, it is likely caused by inflammation. It is recommended to take enoxacin and metronidazole orally for treatment. Continue to drink plenty of water, maintain good local hygiene, and the condition will gradually improve. Wishing you good health.
