Patient's question:
The child just took Ketotifen tablets, Montelukast sodium chewable tablets, and Albuterol sulfate tablets, along with some cough syrup, and then developed a fever. Can they take fever-reducing medication?Medical history and treatment effectiveness: The child had a cold, cough, and fever.
Desired help: Just asking if they can take fever-reducing medication now.
Doctor's answer:
A child with a fever of around 38.5°C does not necessarily require medication to lower the temperature. Physical cooling methods can be used. Physical cooling can involve wiping the body with lukewarm water. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, fever-reducing medication such as ibuprofen can be taken. However, if the child's high fever does not subside, it is still very important to take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible. The above advice is for the question "Can a fever be treated with fever-reducing medication?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
