Question
My daughter has a cough with phlegm, and her highest body temperature during the fever was up to 38.4 degrees Celsius. It has already come down a bit, now about 37.55 degrees Celsius. I have previously given her symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and cough suppressant, but now I want to know, at a body temperature of 37.55 degrees Celsius, do I still need to give her Chai Gui fever-reducing oral liquid?
Answer
According to clinical diagnosis data, when the body temperature is 37.5 degrees Celsius, there is no need to take Chai Gui fever-reducing oral liquid as it may lead to hypothermia. In pediatrics, fever-reducing medications are generally not needed unless the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius. Additionally, anti-inflammatory medications also have a fever-reducing effect. If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
