Patient's question:
The baby is two years old this year. Since last night, he has had a high fever, and the fever has returned repeatedly even after taking fever-reducing medicine. The throat has been checked and shows no inflammation, and the child's appetite is also poor. Starting today, a large area of the skin has turned red, and the child says it doesn't itch. How should the medicine for roseola be used?Doctor's answer:
Roseola typically involves repeated fever for several days, which is nothing to worry about. Try to ensure the child drinks plenty of warm water. Usually, the fever will gradually subside after a few days. Pay attention to the hygiene of the baby's skin. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral antiviral medication can be administered. You can also cook millet porridge for the child to drink. Focus on a light diet, avoiding spicy or "heating" foods. Rest is also important. Roseola can be aggravated by wind, so avoid exposing the child to drafts. Eating fresh vegetables and fruits is beneficial.
