Patient's question:
The baby had a fever at noon on the 7th, and in the evening, his temperature reached 39.3°C. He was given one dose of fever-reducing medicine and half a bottle of Shuanghuanglian oral liquid. On the 8th morning, his temperature was 38.5°C, so he was given another dose of fever-reducing medicine and half a bottle of Shuanghuanglian oral liquid. His temperature returned to normal at noon yesterday, but it rose again to 39°C in the evening. He was given fever-reducing medicine and took a nap. His temperature returned to normal in the middle of the night. Since he tends to get a sore throat and redness when he has a fever, I want to give him some anti-inflammatory medication but not antibiotics. Doctor, what kind of medicine do you recommend for throat inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Low fever can be treated with physical cooling, increased fluid intake, and frequent urination can help expel a small amount of heat. Take a lukewarm bath or a hot shower, and apply fever-reducing patches.If the temperature is >38.5°C, oral antipyretics (such as paracetamol or ibuprofen) can be taken. If the high fever persists, it is recommended to seek medical attention for a follow-up examination, including a complete blood count (CBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) tests, to determine the type of infection and provide targeted treatment.
Please go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.
