Patient's question:
5-year-old child with a fever of over 39°C, then took ibuprofen suspension drops. After 40 minutes, they received a fever-reducing injection. Is there a problem? Is there a problem? Are there any adverse reactions?Doctor's answer:
Children generally do not need fever-reducing medication if their temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. Symptomatic treatment according to the symptoms is sufficient. At this time, a cool towel or ice pack can be applied to the forehead to relieve fever. Ibuprofen suspension drops and acetaminophen sustained-release tablets are effective for reducing low-grade fever. If the child's fever reaches above 38.5 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension drops are more effective for rapid fever reduction. If the fever is between 38 and 38.5 degrees Celsius, acetaminophen sustained-release tablets are better.
