Child is 5 years old, has a fever and cough with a temperature of 38.5, what medicine should they take to reduce the fever?

Patient's question:

I started getting a fever last Friday evening. I went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor on Sunday.

Doctor's answer:

The baby likely has a cold due to catching a cold. You can try giving them Ganlike and Magang Granules. Additionally, get a blood test done. If the blood test results show high levels, antibiotics may be needed. Azithromycin works well in such cases. Make sure the baby drinks plenty of fluids. If they have a fever, you can give them ibuprofen suspension orally. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
