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. What should I do if the baby has a fever and the fever reducer doesn't work?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it is usually accompanied by coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured temperature does not need to be adjusted by 0.5 degrees; if it exceeds 37 degrees, it is considered a fever. You can use Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules for treatment, drink plenty of warm water, and pay attention to keeping warm. If necessary, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.Okay, in such cases, it is more likely to be 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 degrees, you can use ibuprofen suspension for medication to reduce fever. The main treatment is addressing the underlying cause, and a blood test should be conducted for reference in the treatment.
