Question
Hello: My child is 5 years old and has a slight fever recently. Can I give them ceftriaxone to reduce the fever? What are the other options?
Answer
Hello: Fever is an inflammatory pathological response. In children, fever is often considered to be caused by respiratory system infections such as bronchitis, acute bronchitis, and pharyngeal inflammation, but it is also possible that there are inflammatory lesions in other parts of the body. It is recommended to go to the hospital for routine blood tests and other relevant examinations to determine the cause of the fever. If it is a bacterial inflammation, ceftriaxone or other cephalosporin drugs can be taken.
