Patient's question:
A child has a fever. At 5:30 PM yesterday, their temperature was 39.6°C, and they were given medicine once. Around 1:30 AM last night, they had a low-grade fever again, and they were given medicine once more. This morning at 7:30 AM, their temperature was 39.9°C, and they were given medicine again. After a thorough examination and urine test at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed acute pharyngitis and prescribed Amoxicillin and Laryngopharyngeal Clear oral liquid. They took it at 10:30 AM, but now their temperature has risen to 39°C again, and they are hesitant to give more medicine. What should they do now? Do they need to take medicine? (Female, 3 years old)Doctor's answer:
Baby, this is a viral infection caused by the splitting of bacteria, leading to repeated fever. You should take the two types of medicine prescribed by your doctor, plus the children's fever-reducing granules. Additionally, pay attention to drinking more water, applying cold compresses to your head, and using lukewarm water to wipe your body for physical cooling measures. The above content is the complete answer to the question: "Does the child with a fever need medicine?" The temperature was 39.6°C yesterday at 5:30 PM. I hope the patient can quickly overcome the illness and recover soon!
