Patient's question:
These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I always can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Please ask: if a child has a fever, should they take fever-reducing medicine and use fever-reducing patches together?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, most fever is caused by infections. The pathogens of infection can include bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, and so on. The first two are the most common. It is recommended to have your child tested for a complete blood count, which can roughly indicate whether the infection is bacterial or viral. Then, based on the results, you can choose to use antibiotics or antiviral medications. In the later stages of viral infection, it is prone to secondary bacterial infection. Therefore, if it is not convenient to get tested, you can take both antibiotics and antiviral medications simultaneously. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use fever-reducing medication or medication to lower body temperature. Physical cooling methods generally involve warm water bathing. When bathing, you can slightly increase the pressure and it is best to bathe until the skin is slightly red.
