Patient's question:
Half a month ago, my son had a fever of 39.5 degrees. I gave him a fever reducer suppository (the kind inserted into the rectum) and rubbed his body with alcohol to bring it down. It was a struggle to reduce the fever, but it dropped too quickly, and his temperature dropped to 35.3 degrees. Later, he started developing thrush, which at first I didn’t notice. It spread to his throat, and his voice became hoarse. That’s when I realized it and started giving him cephalexin granules to drink and applying Bingbing powder. But the effect isn’t significant.What kind of help do I need: What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is speculated that it is aimed at reducing fever by lowering the room temperature to below 30°C. This can be achieved by placing ice cubes in the room, using electric fans, air conditioners, etc. Physical cooling methods include rubbing with 30% alcohol, placing ice packs in the groin, armpits, and neck, or using cooling beds or cold pads. Indomethacin 12.5–25mg, every 4–6 hours. Traditional Chinese medicine options include Huanglian Qingxin pills and Bupleurum injection.
