Question
The baby is 5 years and 10 months old. He started with tonsillar abscess last night, and now he has been having a fever repeatedly. Until today morning, he has used various fever-reducing medications a total of 6 times, and one time he threw up immediately after drinking it. After intravenous fluid therapy this morning, his temperature dropped to 38.4 degrees, but now it has risen to 39 degrees again. Can I still continue to use fever-reducing medication?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, it is recommended that the baby should receive timely intravenous treatment when he has a fever. When the body temperature exceeds 39 degrees, you can use fever-reducing medications such as rectal fever-reducing suppositories, and also perform physical cooling measures, drink more warm water, and avoid catching a cold.
