Patient's question:
The child had a fever five days ago last night, got an injection yesterday afternoon, and had another high fever last night. This morning, they received a drip of cefotetan, but by the afternoon, the temperature rose to 39°C again. The hands and feet felt cold, so they had their blood checked again. The doctor said the results were normal, and they took fever-reducing medicine. The fever only dropped to 38.5°C. How can the doctor help reduce the fever urgently? Please, please, thank you so much!Doctor's answer:
How long has the baby been taking fever-reducing medication? Currently, warm water bathing can be used. Warm water bathing is an excellent method for cooling down. The water temperature should be between 34-37℃ for it to be suitable, and each wiping session should last more than 10 minutes. The key areas for wiping are the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, elbows, and groin. For high fever or older children, warm water baths can be taken, with the water temperature slightly lower than body temperature. The baby's blood test results are normal, and Xiao'er Chiqiao Qingre Granules can be added.
