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. How can I quickly bring down the fever of a ten-month-old baby who has a temperature of 38 degrees?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. If Mycoplasma pneumoniae is severe, it should be treated in the hospital. The treatment usually lasts for two weeks, commonly using medications such as erythromycin or azithromycin. Treatment can be administered orally or through intravenous drip.
