Question
The baby’s forehead and back feel very hot, but the body temperature measured with a thermometer shows normal. The baby has never received treatment and is seeking some assistance. Ask what medication can be used to treat internal fever.
Answer
Based on the description, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of viral influenza causing the rise in body temperature, as well as other factors such as cold stimulus, individual resistance, and other factors leading to fluctuations in body temperature. At the same time, attention should also be paid to whether there are other symptoms, such as coughing and runny nose. It is recommended to first maintain emotional stability, allow the child to rest appropriately, drink plenty of water, and monitor body temperature changes in a timely manner. Consider giving the child oral medication such as Liu Shen Wan for treatment. If the situation does not improve, it is advisable to seek consultation at a regular pediatric department of a hospital as soon as possible. After all, children are young and require the diagnosis and treatment of professional doctors.
