Patient's question:
A three-year-old child has red lips and a fever of 38.2 degrees Celsius last night. They took fever-reducing medicine, and now their fever has gone down. They haven't had a bowel movement all night yesterday and today. They were also fussy during their nap.Doctor's answer:
If the child's temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to give the child oral fever-reducing medication promptly, such as ibuprofen suspension or acetaminophen drops. Currently, you can also use Xiao Er Chai Gui Tui Fei Granules in combination, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetable soup. Avoid greasy and spicy foods. Promptly take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination, including blood tests and C-reactive protein tests, to check for bacterial or viral infections. If necessary, use anti-infection medications in combination. Combining acupuncture treatment for children also yields good results. Drink more vegetable soup, and we hope this will be helpful to you.
