Patient's question:
Last night, I felt that my child had a slight fever. My child's grandmother measured the temperature for him, but because the child was wearing thick clothes, she accidentally broke the mercury thermometer. After waiting for 5 minutes, we noticed it and quickly changed the child's clothes. Now the child has small bumps all over his body, and he often has a fever of 38℃ at night. I would like to ask if there is any way to help?Doctor's answer:
In the case of the baby, it is recommended to go to the occupational disease prevention and control center for mercury testing, and also return to this room. Give the baby oral antihistamine medication, and pay attention to active physical cooling and fever reduction treatment. The child's condition falls within the scope of allergic urticaria, with symptoms primarily caused by contact with allergens. The baby should temporarily avoid formula milk, as cow's milk may either exacerbate or alleviate the condition. It is recommended to use calamine lotion externally for the baby.
