Question
The baby is fine during the day but develops a fever at night, reaching over 39 degrees. After taking fever-reducing medication and suspension, the fever subsides, but the body temperature rises again to 38.7 degrees after the effect wears off. The hospital examination says it’s a viral infection, no specific medicine available, but three types of medication have been prescribed. Can I still use fever-reducing medication after taking these, and can it be taken with other medications?
Answer
I’m glad to help clarify this question for you. The situation you’ve described is as follows: The baby has a fever of over 39 degrees, considered to be due to viral infection, and is undergoing oral medication treatment. Now that the body temperature has dropped to 38.7 degrees, it is safe to temporarily take fever-reducing medication. There are no indications for using ceftriaxone for viral infections. This is my suggestion for the question ‘The baby is fine during the day but develops a fever at night.’ I hope this helps and wish you good health!
