Question
Why hasn’t my child’s fever subsided after five days?
Answer
When a child’s fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use fever-reducing medications such as Shugan Granules, Zaixin, and Merck, which have good effects on lowering the fever. However, if the fever temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, it is best to avoid using medication and instead adopt physical cooling methods, such as wiping the palms and soles of the feet with diluted alcohol or applying a cool towel to the forehead, while ensuring the child drinks plenty of water.
