Patient's question:
The child has a fever of 38 degrees Celsius and is not eating. I bought Xiao Er Shuang Qing Granules, Aminophenylephrine and Caffeine Oral Solution, and also Ibuprofen Suspension. Can these three medications be taken together? When buying the medicine, the pharmacy staff repeatedly reminded me that the Ibuprofen Suspension can only be used for high fever. Does this mean that taking it together with Xiao Er Shuang Qing Granules and Aminophenylephrine and Caffeine Oral Solution could be harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you provided, it is like this. Xiao Er Shuang Qing Granules are traditional Chinese medicine preparations, and Ibuprofen Suspension are medications for reducing high fever. They are only effective for temporarily reducing fever and alleviating high fever, and cannot provide fundamental treatment. Xiao Er Shuang Qing Granules are traditional Chinese medicine preparations that have antiviral effects. Aminophenylephrine and Guaifenesin Oral Solution are more effective for symptoms like runny nose and hiccups, and also have the function of reducing low-grade fever. Xiao Er Shuang Qing Granules can be taken continuously. If the symptoms mentioned do not exist, Aminophenylephrine and Guaifenesin Oral Solution can be skipped. Ibuprofen Suspension should only be taken temporarily when the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Can these three medications be taken together?" and hope to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
