Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old and is particularly greedy. If I don't let them eat more, they will cry and complain. They often suffer from indigestion, and I am very anxious. I would like to know what medicine to give a child with indigestion and fever.Doctor's answer:
A child with a fever may have an upper respiratory infection. A blood test can be done to check for white blood cell levels. If the white blood cell count is normal, it might be a viral infection. If the fever doesn't drop below 38°C, medication is not necessary. If the fever is below 38°C or keeps recurring, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as heat-clearing and detoxifying medications, should be used. It's also important to drink more water and eat a light diet. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examination at a reputable Grade-A hospital as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
