A four-year-old child has a fever and oral herpes. What medicine should they take?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to have a blood test at a local hospital. This test can determine whether it is a viral or bacterial infection. Then, proper treatment can be given to the child. There is no need to worry too much. Give the child more water to drink, and fever can be treated with fever-reducing medication.
