Patient's question:
The child took a bath yesterday and has a slight fever. They took medicine, but around 2 a.m. they started to have a fever again. After taking the medicine, their face and body felt hot, but their forehead wasn't. This morning, around 9 a.m., it's the same—face and body hot, forehead not so hot.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of your child's condition, your child has caught a cold due to catching a cold. Drink more water and take some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine. My advice is that if your child has a fever and the temperature is above 38.5, you need to take fever-reducing granules. If it's below 38.5, you can do physical cooling. You can take heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine, such as anti-inflammatory oral liquid, which is a traditional Chinese medicine and has a good effect. Drink more hot water, and you can cool down physically.
