Patient's question:
Fever of 38.5 for four days. Blisters around the mouth, redness around the blisters.Doctor's answer:
The baby has a fever caused by a viral infection. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to recover, during which time the fever may persist each day. The small blisters in the mouth are also caused by a virus. It is recommended not to use intravenous drips or antibiotics (such as cefalexin, etc.), as only a small amount of children's cold medicine and antiviral Chinese medicine granules should be taken orally. When the temperature rises above 39°C, it is best to use Tylenol to reduce fever, generally not exceeding 3 doses of fever-reducing medication per day. Persist for a few days, pay attention to enhanced care, drink more water, and it will be the most within 5 days. If the small blisters in the mouth break and cause ulcers or pain, you can mix Montmorillonite powder into a paste and apply it to the mouth with a cotton swab.
