Question
Female, five months old, has been having a recurring fever for three days, with the highest temperature reaching 39.8 degrees. Blood tests are normal, with a runny nose and phlegm in the throat, but the baby is in good spirits. Cold medicine and azithromycin have been taken, in addition to clearing lung heat and cooling blood. The baby vomited severely yesterday and was treated with an enema at the health center. Since then, there has been no more fever. I want to ask if this medication works so quickly whether it has any side effects on the baby? The doctor still advised an enema today, saying that this would make the baby recover faster…
Answer
Based on your description, it is unclear whether the enema medication is a fever-reducing drug. If it is, oral medication would also be effective. As for side effects, any drug may have them, mainly depending on the balance between benefits and risks. It is recommended to give the baby more water and use a humidifier when necessary.
