Patient's question:
22-month-old girl, fever for 2 days, highest temperature 39.2°C, has taken fever-reducing medication. Currently, the baby's armpit temperature is 37°C. There are small dot-like rashes on her face, chest, and back. She is crying, not eating, and not drinking. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition is likely to be roseola. It's best to have the doctor examine it. Pay attention to care, provide appropriate hydration for the baby, and maintain cleanliness and dryness of the local skin. Take good care of the baby, follow a light diet, and avoid seafood. If itchy, oral loratadine solution can be taken to reduce swelling and pain. Monitor the body temperature. Actively implement digestive energy, reduce immunity, and symptomatic treatment generally recovers within three to five days.
