Question
Can Children’s Paracetamol Yellow Sodium Phenylamine Granules and Erhong Qingning be taken simultaneously? Or how long should there be between doses? My child has a fever above 38 degrees Celsius, accompanied by clear nasal discharge. Are these two medications appropriate for the symptoms? What kind of assistance is needed?
Answer
The child’s symptoms include fever, which may be caused by a viral infection or secondary bacterial infection following a viral infection. The main symptoms include fever, headache, dizziness, nasal congestion, runny nose, tearing, and general malaise with weakness. Some patients may experience loss of appetite. Treatment options include: 1. Using traditional Chinese medicine with cooling and detoxifying properties, such as Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid or Daqingye Mixture; 2. Using antibiotics such as amoxicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, with a course of about one week; 3. Symptomatic treatment, such as using a formulation containing ibuprofen or nimesulide for fever reduction if the temperature exceeds 38.3 degrees Celsius, and preparing children’s fever-reducing suppositories to prevent convulsions caused by high fever at night. If symptoms are not severe, cough suppressants may not be necessary, but drugs with cooling effects, such as Chuanbei Xueli Gao, can be used to promote expectoration and reduce coughing. If coughing is severe, a short-term cough suppressant like benzoxyphenylethylamine can be used.
