Question
My child has a fever and keeps crying. They started having a slight fever last night and have been crying all night. The fever has not gone down yet. After giving them a cold medicine syrup, there was some improvement, but how can I bring down their body temperature completely? What medications are suitable for children?
Answer
Based on the described situation, the child may be prone to illness due to environmental changes or cross-infection. Recurring illnesses can weaken the immune system, and overuse of antibiotics can lead to increased drug resistance and dysbiosis, making it difficult to treat subsequent infections. For the question “What to do when a child has a fever and keeps crying?”, here are some suggestions: Firstly, observe the child’s condition. If the symptoms are mild, you can try physical cooling methods such as using warm water to wipe the body and reducing clothing to help alleviate fever and discomfort. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, seek medical attention immediately for a detailed examination and treatment. In terms of medication, follow the doctor’s guidance and do not administer medication to the child on your own, especially antibiotics. For children with a fever, antipyretics can be used, but attention should be paid to dosage and frequency of administration to avoid excessive use. Additionally, maintaining a clean environment, frequently ventilating the space, and helping the child build a strong immune system are important methods for preventing and alleviating diseases.
