Patient's question:
Started feeling feverish yesterday, with a temperature ranging between 37.5 and 38 degrees for 2 days now. Today, I went to the hospital, and the doctor prescribed fever patches and some medicine, but the fever hasn't gone down yet. How long does it usually take for a baby like this to break a fever?Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby has a cold caused by a reduction in the body's resistance after catching a cold, leading to the invasion of bacteria or viruses. The clinical symptoms include fever, runny nose, etc. I suggest giving your baby oral cold medicine such as Qingre JieDu granules to clear heat and detoxify, drinking plenty of warm water, taking fever-reducing medication, and closely monitoring your baby's condition in daily life. The diet should consist of light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold, hard, or irritating foods. Pay attention to preventing colds to alleviate the symptoms of the cold.
