Patient's question:
The child has had poor health since a young age and was always very prone to catching colds and fevers. At that time, we were also eager for him to get better, so we would take him to take medicine every time. This time, my friend said that children should take less medicine, but I don't know why children with fever should take less medicine?Doctor's answer:
Because fever is a defensive response of the human body, and measures such as getting a fever-reducing injection or taking medication can only help lower the surface temperature of the skin. In fact, a moderate cold and fever are not too harmful to the body. However, if the temperature is too high, active treatment is necessary. Moreover, colds require a certain period of time to fully recover. Don't worry too much—just treat the symptoms accordingly. Drink more water and exercise more.
