How effective is Aminopyrine enema for fever reduction?

Patient's question:

Today the doctor gave my son an enema with Aminopyrine, but after 5 hours, his fever hasn't gone down and has even increased. Another child with diarrhea was given the enema with us. Could the doctor have used the wrong medication? After coming home, my son said his left ear feels blocked. Is this related to the enema, or is it due to a cold? If the wrong medication was used, what should be done if Gentamicin was mistakenly administered? Is this related to the enema, or is it due to a cold? If the wrong medication was used, what should be done if Gentamicin was mistakenly administered?

Doctor's answer:

The situation you are considering should never happen again. Enema-induced cooling is commonly used in clinical diagnosis, especially in pediatrics. However, sometimes a child's temperature may continue to rise during the fever phase, so even if fever-reducing medication is used, it may be ineffective. If the temperature remains high, you can take "Ibuprofen Suspension" to reduce fever. Additionally, the stuffy feeling in the ears is likely caused by a cold, not the enema. Focus on treating the cold with medication. Wishing you good health.
