How do you reduce fever when the child has a fever?

Patient's question:

My grandson is 8 years old. Last night, he had a fever with a temperature around 37-38 degrees Celsius. What are the things to pay attention to in this kind of care? I gave him Panadol for children at home and also gave him a Mulberry root preparation because he initially had a sore throat and stuffy nose. Is this treatment method correct?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, the baby's stuffy nose, sore throat with fever, is caused by an upper respiratory infection. It is recommended to take the child for a timely check-up and use the corresponding medication under the guidance of a doctor. For example, azithromycin granules can be taken orally, combined with children's paracetamol and phenylephrine suspension drops for treatment. Personally, I think the effect of banlangen is not very good. Additionally, pay attention to giving the child more fluids in daily life and avoid spicy and puffed foods.
