Patient's question:
The child has tonsillitis and is taking Cefalexin and Amoxicillin Granules. The child weighs 28.5 kg. How many packs should be taken at one time? Are there any side effects to taking this? The child went to the hospital for intestinal problems and fever reduction, so they don't need to take fever-reducing medication.Doctor's answer:
Low fever can be treated with physical cooling, increased fluid intake, as frequent urination can help excrete a small amount of heat. You can also take a warm bath or apply fever reduction patches. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the high fever persists without improvement, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination, including a thorough blood test and CRP check, to determine the type of infection and provide targeted treatment. Since the child has a fever, it is important to measure the child's temperature at irregular intervals to monitor the situation.
