Patient's question:
The baby has a slight fever of 38 degrees. The doctor examined and prescribed medication. The baby has been taking the medicine, but the temperature fluctuates between low and high. It has been a full day since the medicine was taken. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child may have been caused by an infectious disease. It is recommended that if the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, use physical cooling methods, such as applying a warm towel to the forehead or using a fever patch. Drink more hot water. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can take ibuprofen granules orally. After the fever subsides, you can take Xiao'er Chai Gui Tui Re Ke Li and Reng Yan Ning He Ji, which are traditional Chinese medicines that clear heat, detoxify, and reduce fever. These have no side effects on children.
