Patient's question:
At 10 plus, high fever and shivering. Test results: Haven't gone for tests yet. A bit feverish in the morning, took medicine, and it went down, but then it's back up at 10 plus at night. Any way to bring down the fever? Will it burn me up?Doctor's answer:
Based on your child's condition, it is necessary to consider whether the high fever is caused by acute upper respiratory infection. If the temperature is below 39 degrees, it is important to promptly reduce the fever to prevent harm to the brain. Chills are a physical response to rising body temperature.Recommendations:
- You can first use a damp towel to protect the head and brain.
- You can also apply to the neck, armpits, thighs, and popliteal fossa to help raise the temperature.
- The baby can take Nimesulide granules orally or use pediatric fever-reducing suppositories rectally to lower the fever.
- Oral Amoxicillin granules and Sanji Cold Medicine granules can be taken to treat the condition.
- The child should be encouraged to drink light salt water.
- If the high fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for intramuscular fever reduction and intravenous fluid treatment.
Wishing your child a speedy recovery! Thank you for your consultation! I hope my explanation helps you.
