What should I do if I have sinusitis caused by a cold in children and have a fever?

Patient's question:

Hiccup with runny nose, often high fever at night, poor appetite, accompanied by cough for 6 days. A week ago, fever led to sinusitis. Previous treatment and effectiveness: On January 2nd, blood routine tests were normal, sinus scan; took medicine Cefixime dispersible tablets, Sinusitis Relief Syrup for four days,...

Doctor's answer:

I mainly consider the transmission through the respiratory tract. As for whether it is an upper respiratory tract or lower respiratory tract infection, it is difficult to distinguish from the symptoms. Clinical diagnostic signs need to be combined, and careful examinations such as chest X-rays or lung CT scans are required to confirm the diagnosis.
Common antiviral drugs include ribavirin and virazole, while traditional Chinese medicine options include honeysuckle and banlangen. Symptomatic medications include fever-reducing traditional Chinese medicine, many fever-relieving powders, and antipyretics. Antibiotics include penicillin, erythromycin, quinolones, and cephalosporins, among others. Under the guidance of a doctor, the above medications can be considered as needed.
In terms of medication, it has basically addressed the symptoms. As long as the transmission is controlled, the fever will naturally subside.
