Patient's question:
At 10 plus, high fever and shivering. Test results: Haven't gone for testing yet. A bit feverish in the morning, took medicine, and it went down, but then it came back at 10 plus at night. Any way to reduce the fever? Will it burn me up?Doctor's answer:
Based on your child's condition, it is necessary to consider whether the high fever is caused by acute upper respiratory tract infection. If the temperature is below 39 degrees, it may cause harm to the brain, and timely fever reduction treatment should be administered. Chills are a physical response caused by the rise in body temperature.Recommendations:
- You can first use a damp towel to protect the head and brain.
- You can also apply to the neck, armpits, thighs, and popliteal fossa to help raise the body temperature.
- The baby can take Nimesulide granules orally or use pediatric fever-reducing suppositories rectally to reduce fever.
- The baby can also take Amoxicillin granules and Sanji Cold Relief granules for treatment.
- It is important to let the child drink light salt water.
- If the high fever does not subside, it is necessary to promptly take the child to the hospital for intramuscular fever reduction and intravenous fluid treatment.
