How to deal with a fever in a two-year-old

Patient's question:

My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she has a headache and feels dizzy. The thing is, I don't really know what's going on, but she just seems quite unwell. How should I handle a fever in a two-year-old child?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication. Based on your description, it is considered to be sinusitis. You can undergo CT or X-ray examination for confirmation. For sinusitis, it can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, puncture, surgery, etc. For mild sinusitis, you can take Azithromycin, Ciprofloxacin tablets, Metronidazole tablets, Huo Dan pills, etc. In cases where the condition persists and symptoms are severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for sinus puncture and cleaning treatment.
