Question

The 3-year-old baby has had a fever for three days now, reaching 38.9°C. The fever subsides after taking antipyretics, but it returns a few hours later. The baby’s lips are very red, and the doctor said the tongue is also red. Blood tests were done at the hospital, and they prescribed pediatric Yin Chiao Clear Heat Granules and Bai Rui Granules! They didn’t say if the baby has a viral infection or what else, so I’m not feeling reassured and am seeking some advice.

Answer

The main issue is that the image you uploaded is unclear. The doctor prescribed Bai Rui Granules, which should be for bacterial infections. If the baby still has intermittent fevers after taking this medicine, I suggest adding cephalosporin antibiotics and making sure to drink plenty of water. This is my suggestion for the question ‘What’s wrong with the 3-year-old baby who has had a fever for three days at 38.9°C?’ I hope it helps you out, and wish you good health!
