Patient's question:
The child has been diagnosed with influenza and has been experiencing low-grade fever that won't go away. Additionally, they vomit every time they take medication. What should be done? The medications they are currently taking include Heat-Reducing and Throat-Clearing Granules, Golden Lotus Granules, Yin-Dai Lung-Purifying Granules, and Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules. Should cefixime be added?Doctor's answer:
I am a doctor who has resigned from FastAskDoctor, and I am very happy to help you solve your doubts. Type A influenza is a viral infection, and the baby has a fever with high temperatures that persist without subsiding. Generally, antiviral and symptomatic treatment is adopted. If the body temperature is too high (below 38.5°C), physical cooling methods should be used to prevent high fever seizures in the baby. The room should be ventilated, and the air and clothing should be disinfected. If a bacterial infection is detected after a thorough examination, cephalosporin drugs can be used. The above suggestions are for the question "The child is diagnosed with type A flu and has a low fever that won't go down." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
