Patient's question:
The baby had a high fever of 38.3°C yesterday afternoon, but his mental state was still quite good. I gave him a pack of Anrik and then half a pack of Compound Fever-Reducing Granules in the evening. However, he had a fever again this morning, so I gave him fever-reducing medicine and the fever-reducing granules again. Now he is sleeping soundly but still has a fever.What kind of help do you need: Hello, what should I do? Should I take medicine?
Doctor's answer:
Children with fever are advised to start with physical cooling measures first, such as applying lukewarm water or a low-concentration alcohol wipe to areas like the armpits and groin. When the temperature drops below 38.5°C, additional antipyretic medication can be taken. This approach is both safe and effective, with minimal side effects. If oral medication is ineffective, consider other options.At the same time, carefully monitor the child's symptoms for any changes. Redness and swelling in the mouth and throat often indicate a fever, accompanied by symptoms like a runny nose, nasal congestion, and cough. This suggests an upper respiratory infection. In addition to antipyretic treatment, anti-inflammatory and antiviral therapies may be necessary.
