Duration of the Current Illness: 3 days
Current General Condition: Vomiting has decreased, but the fever persists. Unsure how to use the medication.

Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have your child's blood tested for a complete blood count. This can help determine whether the infection is bacterial or viral, allowing for targeted treatment. If your child has low-grade fever, increasing fluid intake can help lower the temperature to normal. Generally, antipyretic drugs are not recommended; however, if the temperature rises above 38.5°C, it is advisable to take antipyretic drugs while continuing to drink more water. If an infection is present, it is necessary to take both anti-infective and antiviral medications, along with increased fluid intake. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
