Question
The child started to have a fever at 8 PM, with a temperature of 37.8 degrees. He said he had a headache. I gave him oral paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules. An hour later, I also gave him one bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid. I took his temperature again at 38 degrees at 11:30 PM. I administered acetaminophen drops considering the possibility of a cold. It’s recommended to use paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules for children, drink plenty of water, ensure adequate warmth, and consider intravenous treatment if necessary.
Answer
There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be cautious not to allow children to develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
