Patient's question:
A 13-month-old child has had a fever for 3 days, with repeated high fever. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the fever subsides for only a few hours before returning, and each time it reaches over 39 degrees Celsius. They have not had a rash. Blood tests and hypersensitive C-reactive protein tests at the hospital showed no abnormalities, only slightly low white blood cell count. Is it possible to have a rash? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
It's better to lower a child's fever with physical methods. When a child has a fever, they should drink more warm water, vegetable juice, and fruit juice. Drinking more fluids helps digest and excrete, which is the most basic way to reduce fever. Then, use Bingbing's fever-reducing patches, which are applied to the body surface. This is completely an external physical cooling method, preventing the first-pass effect of drugs on the liver and avoiding pain during anesthesia. Currently, you can take Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid for treatment, and the diet should also be light.
