Question
My child frequently has a fever and coughs; after taking medicine, the fever subsides but recurs; it’s been four months now. Previous treatment situation and effectiveness: After taking medication, the fever went away for a few days but then recurred. What kind of help can you offer? How can I prevent my child from getting a fever easily?
Answer
Recurrent fever in infants is mainly related to low immunity and the coexistence of chronic inflammatory conditions such as chronic tonsillitis, adenoid hypertrophy, and others. It is also due to improper care and failure to receive proper and timely treatment. The key to current treatment is to eliminate chronic diseases, enhance care, and provide appropriate treatment, such as active anti-inflammatory therapy with drugs like Amoxicillin, Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Ribavirin, pediatric throat lozenges, etc. Severe cases may require intravenous treatment. Additionally, to boost immunity, children can be administered some gamma globulin.
