Patient's question:
Half a day ago yesterday morning, I started having a high fever. I used fever reducer suppositories, fever reducer patches, and Tylenol. The best rectal temperature was 39.2 degrees, and the lowest was 38.2 degrees.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Piperacillin 1.0 and Ganoderma lucidum 60mg were administered via intravenous infusion. Test results: White...
Doctor's answer:
Refers to the direct effect of pyrogens on the body temperature regulation center, dysfunction of the thermoregulation center, or excessive heat production due to various reasons, leading to increased heat loss and a drop in body temperature below the normal range.Medical Advice: When a child's temperature is above 38.5°C, fever-reducing medication is not necessary. It is best to drink more warm water while closely monitoring any changes in the condition or using physical cooling methods. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, fever-reducing medication can be taken. Commonly used fever-reducing medications include paracetamol, Tylenol for children, and Advil, but it is best to use them under the guidance of a pediatrician. If the fever persists, it is advisable to undergo a comprehensive and thorough examination! Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
