Question
What shot should I give for my child’s sore throat, redness, and high fever? The child has a fever of 38.5 degrees with a runny nose and slight asthma. Time of onset: yesterday morning. Detailed test results: negative. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Received 2 days of Pioneer Cephalosporin and saline bottles with no effect. The child had pneumonia at the age of 3 and also had an attack at the age of 4. Request for assistance: Please recommend what medication to take and what shot is effective and works quickly. The baby has an upper respiratory infection caused by fever, and it is suggested to focus on anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment.
Answer
It is recommended to focus on anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment. You have just given your baby intravenous fluids for two days, so the inflammation is unlikely to be suppressed so quickly. It is suggested that you continue to observe quietly for another two days. Once the inflammation is suppressed to a certain degree, the baby will naturally no longer have symptoms. Additionally, your baby has had pneumonia, so it is recommended that you actively seek treatment.
