How many times does an eight-year-old need to 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 mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Please ask, how many times should an eight-year-old take fever-reducing medicine?

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 for fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication. It's possible that it could be a cold, and you can use Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules for treatment. Drink plenty of warm water, pay attention to keeping warm, and if necessary, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.
