Patient's question:
My child is 1 year old and currently has a fever. Their forehead is very red, but there are no other symptoms. Treatment history and effectiveness: They have been taken to the hospital, and their condition has improved after receiving injections. What kind of help do you want: 1. Could you please ask the teacher, what are some good treatment plans for a 1-year-old child with a fever? 2. Can the fever be reduced without injections or medication?Doctor's answer:
Fever is caused by various different reasons, such as pneumonia, respiratory infections, acute gastroenteritis, or anesthetics and vaccines, and it is best to go to the hospital for further and careful examination. After diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be administered. It is best to avoid giving antibiotics to the child, and antibiotics should only be taken based on the situation after diagnosis. Currently, you can give him some antiviral oral liquid or children's clearing heat and detoxifying oral liquid. If the fever is above 38.5 degrees, you can give him some fever-reducing medicine like Tylenol or Ruizhengqing. If the temperature is below this, physical cooling measures can be used. During this time, drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
