Patient's question:
The baby is two years old and has a high fever of 39.2 degrees at night. There are only Children's Cold Relief Oral Liquid and Children's Baicao Granules at home. After taking it for an hour, the fever still hasn't gone down. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Mom is currently experiencing a prevalence of influenza this year. Based on your description, your baby's symptoms may be caused by a viral infection leading to cold-like symptoms. It is recommended to give your baby an appropriate amount of water, oral oseltamivir for antiviral treatment, and timely physical cooling or fever-reducing medication when the temperature reaches above 38.5 degrees Celsius. The fever-reducing medication should be used with an interval of 6 hours. If there is no improvement within 2 to 3 days, please seek medical attention promptly.
