Patient's question:
A little girl with a high fever of over 39 degrees Celsius has taken the Tribufen Cell Repair Suspension many times, but the fever hasn't subsided, always ranging between 38 to 39 degrees. What should be done?Past treatment history and effectiveness: Taken fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory medications.
What kind of assistance is needed: How to deal with the fever not subsiding?
Doctor's answer:
Temperature under the armpit: If the baby's temperature is below 37.5°C, it's normal. 37.5-38°C is also acceptable, but 38-38.5°C is considered a high fever (you can give Taurine Detoxifying Granules). Below 38.5°C needs to be taken seriously. If you're not sure, check the temperature at intervals to see if there are any changes. A baby's body temperature should naturally be slightly higher than that of a normal adult because of their faster metabolism.Suggested advice: First, apply a fever reducer patch to the forehead. Change it every 12 hours. Then, use physical cooling methods by gently wiping the baby's entire body with lukewarm water, especially the palms and soles of the feet, as these areas are more prone to heat transfer.
