Patient's question:
The elderly person mistakenly gave the child fever-reducing medicine several times, thinking it was a cold medicine. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
In this case, we can only wait and see the changes in the baby's body temperature. As long as the baby's body temperature is within the normal range, everything is usually fine. If the baby's body temperature is too low, the main approach is to prevent hypothermia or lower the body temperature. It is essential to pay close attention in the future. The key is to ensure the baby drinks plenty of fluids while enhancing the metabolism of drugs and restoring the baby's body temperature to normal. When necessary, it is important to take measures to prevent hypothermia or place a hot water bag around the baby.
