What should I do if my child has a fever for a week?

Patient's question:

Last Saturday night, I started having a high fever of 38.6 degrees Celsius. There were no other symptoms. After taking Paracetamol and Phenylephrine Granules and Lixunsha at home, the fever subsided. However, I experienced gastrointestinal discomfort and stomach pain again. When I stopped the medication, the high fever returned. What could this be?

Doctor's answer:

This is just a common fever. Ibuprofen is a fever-reducing medication, and it is used daily to lower the temperature. Since the illness hasn't improved, the temperature rises again once the medication is stopped. Fever doesn't always require the use of antibiotics, as they are generally ineffective.
Recommendation: It is suggested to take Fenghan Fever Reducing Granules, half a bag each time, three times a day.
