Patient's question:
Starting from 5 PM yesterday, I had a fever. I gave my child fever-reducing medicine several times, but the fever kept recurring with high temperatures.Past treatment history and effectiveness:
- Fever-reducing medicine: 5 PM yesterday, 10 PM yesterday, 2:30 AM today, and 6:30 AM today.
- Currently, at 3:30 PM today, the child has a high fever of 39°C.
Question: Can I give them more?
Help needed: What are the side effects if they drink it?
Doctor's answer:
Fever is caused by inflammation and should be treated with appropriate anti-inflammatory therapy. Simply using fever-reducing medication is not enough. Avoid self-medication to prevent discomfort. Inflammation is triggered by the body's infection with pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and mycoplasma. During proper treatment and recovery, it is important to avoid overexertion and exposure to cold, maintain a regular schedule, eat a nutritious diet, and reduce contact with susceptible individuals to enhance recovery and maintain health.
