Question
My child has a fever, runny nose, and coughs. They only get fever at night and have a temperature of about 37 degrees during the day. What fever medicine should I give them?
Answer
For a baby with a fever, it is recommended to actively treat the condition. Fever-reducing medications include aspirin, paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen), ibuprofen, and Shugan injection. These drugs have good fever-reducing effects with fewer side effects. Additionally, Shugan injection, as a traditional Chinese medicine preparation, has a slower fever-reducing effect but fewer side effects as well. Wishing your child a healthy recovery.
