Question
How to solve high fever in children with upper respiratory tract inflammation?
Answer
Viral upper respiratory infections have a certain course and self-limiting nature. It is important to prevent cross-infection and complications. The patient is an 8-year-old girl who has been ill for 2 weeks. After treatment with intravenous and oral medications, her condition improved temporarily, but she had a fever again last night, reaching 38.5 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to rest more, drink more water, and supplement vitamin C. For high fever, oral ibuprofen or paracetamol can be taken to reduce the fever. At the same time, physical methods such as cold compresses or warm compresses can be used to prevent febrile convulsions. It should be determined whether the infection is viral or bacterial based on relevant examination results, and corresponding anti-infection treatment should be given.
