Question
My sister has been experiencing fever for three days, and after taking fever-reducing medication, the fever subsided temporarily but returned after the medication wore off, accompanied by chills. She has been to the doctor for shots but still has a low-grade fever. I would like to know how to effectively reduce the fever.
Answer
It is recommended to add fever-reducing medication to the intravenous drip, along with oral and enema Chinese medicine. Bovine antelope horn powder can be used to help reduce the fever. Ensure adequate fluid intake during the drip and encourage your child to drink more water. It is suggested to perform blood routine, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, cardiac enzyme panel, and Mycoplasma pneumonia tests to determine if there are other causes of fever or complications such as myocarditis. If your child’s mental state is good, there is no need to worry too much; the above methods should help reduce the fever.
