What should I do if my child's viral cold has a high fever that doesn't subside?

Patient's question:

On January 4th, I went to the hospital. The doctor ordered a blood test and said it was a viral cold. Three days after coming home, I developed mouth ulcers and had a high fever that wouldn't go down. The child barely ate dinner or drank water.

Doctor's answer:

Through your description, I understand your confusion. The child has developed herpetic stomatitis due to a fever, accompanied by significant pain, which interferes with bowel movements. It is recommended to administer intravenous treatment to the child, including antiviral medication for digestion and nutrition, while also using Kangfuxin liquid. 2 milliliters should be used for gargling, each time for one to two minutes, three times a day. Alternatively, five minutes before bowel movement, 5 milliliters of lidocaine injection can be dissolved in 20 milliliters, and then 2 milliliters should be used for gargling. After 2 minutes, spit it out and then proceed with bowel movement. This will significantly reduce pain and ensure adequate nutrition intake, which in turn promotes ulcer healing and scab formation.
