Question
A 6-year-old child has a viral infection, sore throat with dry swallowing, and has been running a fever for three days. The child has been taking medication, and the fever subsided slowly with a 3-hour interval between doses for the first two days. On the third day, the fever recurred every 5-6 hours. After finishing the Azithromycin, what other anti-inflammatory medication can be taken?
Answer
The baby’s body temperature intervals are getting longer, which is a sign of improvement. If it’s caused by a viral infection, oral Oseltamivir capsules can be taken. It’s not recommended to use Azithromycin. The key is to drink plenty of water, use physical cooling methods, and also brew some honeysuckle water or radish water to clear heat and detoxify.
