Patient's question:
At around 3:00 PM on April 12, the child said their throat was sore and they drank Banlangen granules. They then took a nap. After waking up at around 5:00 PM, they started to have a fever of 38.7°C. What could be the cause of the fever, and is the medication appropriate? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon of fever not subsiding in children that you mentioned could be considered either related to the child or caused by a cold. It is also a relatively common disease during childhood, and it is possible that it is caused by a mixed infection of viruses and bacteria. It is recommended that you first take your child to the pediatric department of the hospital for a blood test, which would be a good approach. If the thorough examination shows that the child has high blood cell counts, it is advisable to use cephalosporin antibiotics and antiviral drugs to administer intravenous treatment for several days. This way, the child will gradually recover. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
