Question
A one-year-old and two-month-old child has had a fever for three days. They previously had a cold with coughing and runny nose, which has now improved, but they still have phlegm. They have been experiencing frequent fevers recently, and have taken ibuprofen and other medications, including anti-inflammatory drugs, but the symptoms have not improved. Today, they also developed diarrhea. The parents are asking what kind of tests should be done and what precautions should be taken when using medication.
Answer
Fever may be caused by an infection. It is recommended to take oral paracetamol and use Da Qing Ye oral liquid. If discomfort is felt, a timely re-examination is advised. It is suggested that if the body temperature is below 38 degrees, it should be taken very seriously. At home, physical cooling measures can be taken, such as cold compresses on the forehead, drinking plenty of water, or taking oral antipyretic drugs. If diarrhea occurs, attention should be paid to observation and timely medical treatment.
