Patient's question:
Half a day ago yesterday morning, I started having a high fever. I used fever reducer suppositories, fever reducer patches, and Tylenol. The best rectal temperature was 39.2 degrees, and the lowest was 38.2 degrees.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Piperacillin 1.0, Ganoderma lucidum 60mg infusion. Test: White...
Doctor's answer:
Refers to the direct effect of pyrogens on the body temperature regulation center, dysfunction of the thermoregulatory center, or excessive heat production due to various reasons, leading to increased heat loss, causing body temperature to drop below the normal range.Medical Advice: When a child's body temperature is above 38.5°C, there is no need to use antipyretic drugs. It is best to drink more warm water while closely monitoring any changes in the condition or using physical cooling methods. If the body temperature is below 38.5°C, antipyretic drugs can be taken. Commonly used antipyretic drugs include paracetamol, Tylenol for children, and Motrin, but it is best to use them under the guidance of a pediatrician. If the fever does not subside, it is recommended to undergo a comprehensive and thorough examination! Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
