Question
How should one handle a child’s fever at night?
Answer
When a child has a fever at night, you can give them ibuprofen (Merck) to reduce the fever and also administer antiviral medications such as Huitong (Ke Gulan), Xike lao (Cefixime), or traditional Chinese medicine for opsonize. Additionally, if the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system infection, immediate treatment should be coordinated with the doctor, including the use of gastrointestinal depressants and establishing good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention to their child’s balanced diet, avoiding picky eating and dietary preferences.
