Patient's question:
The child is 5 years old, has had a fever for 1.5 days, with a temperature of 39.5°C. After taking Tylenol for 4-5 hours, the fever has recurred. There are white blisters in the mouth, sore throat, and the child is reluctant to drink water. Occasional coughing. The tongue appears slightly yellow due to recently taking medication. How should the white blisters be treated with medication? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for blood tests?Doctor's answer:
This parent, based on the situation you described and the purchased images, suggests closely monitoring the temperature changes. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, take fever-reducing medication. If it remains below 38.5 degrees, physical cooling should be the primary method, drink plenty of plain water, use cooling patches, and apply warm compresses. It is recommended to take oral medication and monitor for two days to see if it improves. If it does not, have the hospital conduct a blood test. Oral medication and cefalexin can be taken.The above is the advice for the question "Child is 5 years old, fever for one and a half days." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
