Question
How much fever reducing medicine should a baby under two years old take? How often per day?
Answer
Fever-reducing medication can be taken half a packet at a time, used when the body temperature is below 38.5℃, and it is mainly physical cooling without exceeding 38.5℃. Drink plenty of water and use lukewarm water to wipe the neck, armpits, and groin areas to help lower the temperature. If the temperature does not drop, it can be repeated every 4-6 hours. If the temperature does not drop or the baby has a recurrent fever, it is often due to inflammation. It is recommended to check blood routine to understand the blood picture. If the blood count is elevated, timely use of drugs such as cefixime granules for anti-inflammatory treatment.
