Patient's question:
My son is 1 year and 5 months old. He has been crying all afternoon today, so I took his temperature, which was 38 degrees Celsius. I gave him Xiao'er Chai Gui Tui Re Granules. Except for cefixime, there was no effect after a while, and his temperature even rose to 38.6 degrees Celsius. So I gave him fever-reducing medicine, but it has been over an hour now, and his fever is still at 38.7 degrees Celsius. It's not swelling either, he's just being fussy. What's going on? Urgent, urgent, urgent.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it's possible that the baby might have a cold, which is usually caused by a viral infection. I suggest you pay close attention to ensuring the baby drinks plenty of fluids. You can also help with physical cooling by applying fever-reducing patches and using lukewarm water to wipe areas like the neck, armpits, elbow creases, groin, and popliteal fossa, making the skin slightly red. This can be quite effective for reducing fever.Recurring fever indicates that the infection hasn't been properly controlled. Now, it's important to focus on oral antiviral and fever-reducing medications. If the medications you're using aren't effective, you'll need to switch to a different treatment, such as oral Chaihuang Granules and Qingkailing Granules.
