Patient's question:
Symptom Description: A 4-year-old child has a fever of 39°C. After taking one-fifth of a pack of Ruizhqing for an hour, there has been no effect. Can a bit more be used to reach a total of half a pack?Previous Treatment and Effect: Half a pack was previously used and it worked.
Expected Help: Can a bit more be used?
Doctor's answer:
If the vomiting is not severe, you can also eat ice cubes to reduce fever. Pour juice into the ice tray to freeze into ice cubes, or you can also put grapes or strawberries in the ice cube tray, which is particularly popular with children with high fever. If you feel very uncomfortable, you can take pain relievers. Adults can take 2 aspirin or 2 acetaminophen tablets every 4 hours. The advantage of acetaminophen is that fewer people are allergic to it. Since aspirin and acetaminophen work slightly differently, if you feel that neither is effective in controlling high fever, you might consider taking both. Take 2 aspirin and 2 acetaminophen tablets every 6 hours. Before taking these medications, it is necessary to get a doctor's consent.
