Patient's question:
My son has had a fever all day today and has been coughing continuously. Tears have been welling up in his small eyes. Seeing him like this has made me feel very uncomfortable. I took him to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and they prescribed some Nimesulide granules, but they haven't been very effective. Should my child still take anti-inflammatory medication after taking Nimesulide granules?Doctor's answer:
The child has developed a fever again. The oral administration of Nimesulide granules is primarily to reduce the fever. However, relying solely on fever reduction can lead to recurrent fever in the child. If the child experiences recurrent fever, it is recommended to conduct a complete blood count test. If the fever is caused by a bacterial infection, it is advisable to use anti-inflammatory medications in conjunction with the treatment. If the fever is caused by a viral infection, it is recommended to use antiviral medications in conjunction with the treatment.
