Question

A 5-year-old child has a cold with fever. They seem normal during the day but keep having fevers at night. What could be the cause, and are there any good home remedies?

Answer

It’s likely that the baby is experiencing fever due to a cold, and I suggest taking active medication and symptomatic treatment for quick recovery without undue worry. Based on the situation described, it’s recommended to give the child oral medicine like XiaoKuaiKe, cefixime granules, and ibuprofen granules for treatment, while also ensuring adequate hydration and avoiding cold, spicy, and other irritant foods that may cause heat. Maintain good bowel movements. I hope these suggestions help you, and wish the child a speedy recovery.
