Question
The child has difficulty digesting beef and doesn’t defecate. After using an enema, they defecated. The doctor prescribed antipyretic medication, which the child also took. However, they still have repeated fever at home. What should be done?
Answer
If a child has repeated fever, it is important to carefully check for influenza virus infection, as this season sees a high prevalence of influenza virus transmission. A confirmed diagnosis should be made to avoid complications, or oseltamivir treatment can be directly administered. During fever, the child should drink plenty of warm water and have their body wiped with warm water to help cool down. It is necessary to consult a doctor if needed.
