Patient's question:
Help! Doctor～Thank you! A 1.5-year-old baby has a fever that keeps coming back... The highest temperature reached 39 degrees... They have taken fever-reducing medicine three times. Can they still take it? The hospital checked their blood and said it was inflammation, with a sore throat... They prescribed a head-powder, lung-purifying syrup, and cold medicine. They have fever-reducing medicine at home and took it three times from 5 PM yesterday until now. I feed them every 6 hours... 1.25 ml each time... The fever goes down and then comes back. What should I do? Is there a Tylenol fever-reducing medicine that can be taken alternately?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 medication 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 complete answer to the question: "What should I do if my 1.5-year-old baby has repeated fever up to 39 degrees?" We hope the patient can quickly get rid of the disease and recover soon!
