Patient's question:
Baby is 1 year old. A few days ago, due to a burn, the lymph nodes swelled and the baby stayed in the hospital for 5 days. This afternoon, the baby just discharged from the hospital. The doctor prescribed Cefixime. At midnight, the baby had a fever of 38.2 degrees. We have Ibuprofen oral suspension at home. Can the baby take it? Does the intravenous infusion today affect taking medicine? Can Chen Gong Zai Xin be taken?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it is likely caused by secondary bacterial infection leading to inflammatory reactions after burns. During fever, you can use medications like ibuprofen to relieve symptoms, which generally does not affect intravenous medication. It is recommended to inform the attending doctor when visiting the hospital, pay attention to the child's hygiene, enhance care, regularly clean and disinfect, maintain a regular feeding schedule, and have a light, easily digestible, and nutritious diet. Avoid various physical and chemical stimuli. Wishing you good health.
