Patient's question:
Help! Doctor! Thank you! A 1.5-year-old baby has a fever that keeps coming back... highest temperature is 39 degrees... has taken fever-reducing medicine 3 times already, can it still be taken? Went to the hospital for a blood test, said it was inflammation, throat infection... prescribed Headache Clear Lung Syrup, cold medicine. At home, there is fever-reducing medicine, took 3 doses from 5 PM to now... I feed every 6 hours... 1.25 ml... it goes down then goes back up. Is there a Tylenol fever-reducing medicine that can be alternated?Doctor's answer:
The baby is 1.5 years old and in the infant period. The baby frequently has fever accompanied by sore throat, and has respiratory infections. For fever-reducing medication, the same type should be used with an interval of more than four hours before it can be repeated, and it is not recommended to use it less than four times within 24 hours. Two types of fever-reducing medication can be alternated. The above content is the full answer to the question: "What should I do if my 1.5-year-old baby has recurrent fever up to 39 degrees?" We hope the patient can soon be free from the illness and recover quickly.
