Patient's question:
Fever for five or six hours, taking fever-reducing medicine and applying fever-reducing patches, but it's not working. What should I do?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: This situation has never happened before. What kind of help do I need: How can I bring down the fever?
Doctor's answer:
Fever reduction is only symptomatic treatment, and it is necessary to identify the cause of the fever for targeted treatment. For example, upper respiratory tract infection can be treated with antiviral or antibacterial medications. If the fever is caused by dietary stagnation, digestive and laxative drugs can be used. Considering the current situation, while existing measures are being taken, lukewarm sponge baths can be used to lower the child's body temperature. Additionally, it is important to consult a doctor for a thorough examination to determine the cause of the child's fever and use additional medications as needed.
