Question

My child has a fever every night, and the leukocyte count is negative. How should I treat it? Previous treatment and results: three injections of antiviral drugs. What I care about: are there any good methods?

Answer

First, measure the child’s temperature. If the child’s temperature is between 37.3 and 38.5 degrees Celsius, it’s not too serious; you can give the child fever reducing pills orally and drink plenty of water. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can take some fever reducing medicine. If there are no medicines, you can use alcohol or high-proof liquor to wipe the body to help reduce the fever. Make some ginger water for the child to drink and observe closely. Go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause of the fever and get timely treatment.
