Patient's question:
A 2.5-year-old child with recurrent fever for three days had blood tests done at the hospital, which showed elevated C-reactive protein. The doctor diagnosed acute respiratory infection and prescribed Xiao Chaihu Granules, Roxithromycin, and Feilike Syrup. After taking it once, the child's temperature dropped directly to 36°C. After taking it for two days, the temperature reduced to 35.2°C, with the lowest recorded temperature being 35°C. What could be the reason? The low-temperature period lasted for 12 hours.Doctor's answer:
The three medications you are taking will never cause such a low body temperature. Is it possible that you are also taking other medications? It is common to experience such a low body temperature after using hormones or ibuprofen as fever-reducing drugs.I suggest you take good care of the baby, give them appropriate amounts of water, and maintain a light diet. Additionally, when taking medication, pay close attention to the dosage and avoid overuse. Rest well during the day. The three medications you are taking will never cause such a low body temperature. You can wait and see if the situation improves.
