Question
After taking cold medicine syrup, a 9-year-old girl’s body temperature dropped from the normal 35 degrees to a lower level, and she felt unwell all over. However, after keeping warm, her body temperature rose to 36.7 degrees, and her symptoms improved. What could be the reasons?
Answer
Based on the description, the girl’s body temperature dropped after taking the medication, which may be due to an excessive amount of hormonal ingredients in the medication. It is recommended to stop taking the medication, drink plenty of water, stay warm, and seek medical attention promptly to avoid self-medication.
