Question
My child, who is 11 months old, started having a fever last night. The fever subsides with the administration of fever-reducing medication but returns when the medication is not taken. I have given the fever-reducing medication twice already, but the fever has returned again. What should I do? The child has a viral cold and moderate anemia and is taking Ling Huang Bao Er Wan. However, vomiting occurs after taking the Children’s Lung Heat Cough and Wheezing Oral Liquid, so I have not given it anymore. Should I take the child to the hospital immediately, or are there other methods of handling the situation?
Answer
Firstly, I wish you and your child good health. I’m glad to be able to help you clarify your doubts. There are many causes of fever, the most common being infection (including various infectious diseases), followed by connective tissue diseases (collagen diseases), malignant tumors, and so on. I suggest you take your child to a local large medical institution for a routine blood test to determine if there are any issues. If the situation worsens and persists for a long time, it is recommended to undergo bacterial culture. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
