Patient's question:
Symptom Description: A 4-year-old child with a fever of 39°C has been using one-fifth of a pack of Ruizhqing for an hour without any effect. Can a bit more be used to reach a total of half a pack?Previous Treatment and Effect: Half a pack was used before and it worked.
Expected Help: Can a bit more be used?
Doctor's answer:
Your situation is about handling a child's fever. My suggestion is to determine whether the fever is caused by inflammation or a cold. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can use physical cooling methods, such as rubbing alcohol on the limbs and armpits. For fever, you can take Ruzhiqing, one packet at a time. This dosage is too high, so please use it reasonably to avoid causing the child's temperature to drop too low. Ruzhiqing is not recommended for children under eight years old, so adults are less likely to catch colds for this reason. Adults have more immunity because they have been exposed to more bacteria. However, the number of mutated bacteria is now greater than before.
