Patient's question:
The child has recurrent fever and a red, swollen throat. No other symptoms. Currently, the medications include oseltamivir granules and Lanting. Should other medications be added? How long does it take for them to take effect?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of fever in children include viral and bacterial infections. The fever usually lasts for 2 to 3 days. If the fever repeatedly spikes high and the child is lethargic, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.If a child has a fever with a temperature above 38.5°C, they should take fever-reducing medication in granule form. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used.
Drink plenty of water. If the medication does not take effect after three days, it is recommended to visit the hospital for screening. Intravenous treatment may be administered.
