Patient's question:
Since around June 26th, when low-grade fever occurred, after being treated in our county hospital for a period without improvement, I was transferred to the city children's hospital for treatment for about half a month. The body temperature is normal in air-conditioned rooms, but occasional low-grade fever still occurs. Currently, at home, I rely on air conditioning to help control the body temperature.Treatment history and effectiveness: After treatment in the city children's hospital, the frequency of fever reduced significantly, but occasionally there is one or two episodes of fever per day, with most of the time having normal body temperature.
What kind of help I need: I would like to ask if there are any good prescriptions that can lower the child's body temperature and prevent recurrent fever. Please help me out as much as possible. Thank you!!! Emergency request.
Doctor's answer:
Children with viral colds primarily exhibit symptoms such as fever, which may or may not be present, with varying temperatures ranging from low to high. They may also have clear nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing, and generally good spirits, though appetite may decrease. In some cases, symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea may occur, and very rarely, high fever seizures may develop.Children with bacterial colds mainly show symptoms of fever, especially persistent high fever that does not subside, purulent nasal discharge, sore throat, lethargy, poor appetite, and some may experience high fever seizures.
Medical Advice: For viral colds, Lianmianhuang Naman Granules are effective. For bacterial colds, antibiotics are required. Do not rush to reduce fever.
There are several reasons why it is not advisable to rush to lower a child's fever:
A temperature of 37.5–38°C is considered low-grade fever, 38–39°C is moderate fever, and anything above 39°C is high fever. Low-grade or moderate fever is beneficial for a child's growth and development. Fever is the body's response to viral or bacterial invasion. This response helps eliminate the invading pathogens, thereby supporting the child's normal growth and development.
