Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please advise on what to do if a seven-month-old baby has a fever every few days?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby's fever may indicate an infection or other issues. Generally, fever-reducing medication is not recommended if the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C. If it does, you can use fever-reducing medications such as ibuprofen suspension, Xiao Chaihu, or Motrin, combined with antibiotics like Amoxicillin or Cephalosporin. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and keep warm, while avoiding irritants.Based on your symptoms, it seems the inflammation of the tonsils is likely caused by an internal heat condition. Treatment should focus on anti-inflammatory measures, such as intravenous drip therapy with Yinhuang Granules or Amoxicillin Granules, along with plenty of fluids.
