Patient's question:
Coughing, vomiting, and fever for a day and a night, vomiting everything eaten. Past treatment and effectiveness: Got an injection today to reduce fever, and the doctor gave a box of medicine, but it says children are not allowed to use it. I don't know if I can use it.What kind of help do you want: I want to ask how to deal with my child's cough, vomiting, and fever?
Doctor's answer:
Since this medication is a drug that is prohibited for children to use, it should not be taken, as it may cause harm to the liver and nervous system. It is recommended to use fever-reducing medication as an alternative. If the body temperature is above 38.5°C, use fever-reducing medication promptly. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, primarily use physical cooling methods, such as drinking plenty of water and applying warm water to the neck, armpits, groin, and other areas to help lower the temperature. Repeated fever or persistent high temperature is often caused by inflammation. It is advised to check a blood test to understand the blood cell count. If the blood cell count decreases, timely medication should be used for anti-inflammatory treatment.
