Patient's question:
6 Eighteen-year-old baby had a fever of 38.5 degrees yesterday evening. After taking the fever-reducing syrup, it returned to 38.5 degrees again. Red face, sweating. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Didn't care what kind of help: just used aspirin for fever reduction, pain relief, and anti-inflammatory effects. How is it?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. Based on the description, it's important to be aware of the possibility of viral infections and other causes, as well as conditions like tonsillitis and pneumonia. Simply using aspirin to reduce fever is unreasonable and may also potentially harm the child's blood system. In this case, the first step is to calm down and get adequate rest. Physical cooling methods should be used for treatment. If necessary, seek medical advice from a pediatric department in a regular hospital and use sensitive treatment medications. Encourage the child to drink more water. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery.
