Question

The baby has a fever, and the doctor has prescribed Children’s Heatclear Granules and Acetaminophen Slow-Release Tablets. Can they be taken at the same time? How many days can Children’s Heatclear Granules be taken consecutively? Do you need to take them even when not feverish?

Answer

Based on the description, the baby may have viral influenza, and Children’s Heatclear Granules can be taken simultaneously with Acetaminophen Slow-Release Tablets. Children’s Heatclear Granules are used for clearing heat, detoxifying, and soothing the throat, suitable for symptoms such as wind-heat cold and feverish headache. It is usually recommended to use them for 3-4 days. If the body temperature is below 38.5℃, Acetaminophen Slow-Release Tablets can be used to lower the temperature or for physical cooling. At the same time, antiviral medications should be taken, and ensure that the child drinks plenty of water.
