Doctor's answer:

The chlorpheniramine maleate tablets are an antihistamine medication. They are ineffective for fever, and if the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, there is no need to use fever-reducing drugs. The main approach is physical cooling, drink plenty of water, use warm water or a very small amount of alcohol to wipe the neck, armpits, groin, etc., to help lower the temperature. If the temperature drops below 38.5°C, use fever-reducing drugs such as ibuprofen granules, while also coordinating physical cooling. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect it. Rest and stay warm. If the fever recurs or does not subside, it is usually caused by inflammation. It is recommended to check a blood test to understand the blood picture. If the blood picture is high, use anti-inflammatory drugs such as cefixime granules in a timely manner.
