Question
My child is four years old and has been suffering from repeated fever, with temperatures ranging between 37.6-38.2 degrees Celsius, for three days. They received two intramuscular injections each day, which helped reduce the fever, but it returned a few hours later. The child’s mental state is good, and the doctor has prescribed Acetaminophen, Amoxicillin, and Antiviral Granules. I am asking whether I should give my child Pudilan-like medication and whether I should administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication at this temperature.
Answer
The doctor responded that since the child’s body temperature has not dropped below 38.5 degrees Celsius, there is no need to take oral fever-reducing medication. You can give the child pediatric fever-reducing granules to lower the fever. If the child has tonsillitis, they can take Pudilan orally as well; in this case, antiviral granules are not needed. These are the recommendations for the question ‘What medication should a 4-year-old child take for repeated fever?’ I hope this helps you and your child stay healthy!
