Question
The baby’s body temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius under the armpit. Can amoxicillin be taken? What has been the past treatment effect?
Answer
Amoxicillin, galibavir, and paracetamol phenylpiperazine granules can be taken temporarily. This may help with inflammation, reduce fever, and clear the virus. However, excessive use of medication may lead to ineffective treatment. It is recommended to first go to the hospital for a routine blood test to determine the pathogen, so that targeted medication can be used. Intravenous treatment may be necessary as children may easily develop pneumonia or seizures, especially in the case of fever. This kind of medication is acceptable, but targeted treatment is better. The dosage should be one-third of an adult’s dosage.
