Patient's question:
Baby is 1 year and 5 months old. She has had a high fever since yesterday, with intermittent fever. Taking some medicine has helped, but she still has a slightly high fever of 37.4°C. How should these medicines be taken? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Based on the current condition of the child, the fever may be related to a cold virus infection. If the temperature is only 37.4°C, then at this time, there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Only physical cooling methods are required, such as applying fever-reducing patches, using warm water to wipe the body, soaking feet in hot water, or taking a hot bath, etc. Additionally, antibiotics should not be used casually only if there is a fever without other symptoms.
