Question

If a child vomits after taking fever medicine, does it mean the medicine is ineffective? Besides fever-reducing medicine, are there any other methods to quickly lower body temperature?

Answer

Dear inquirer, generally speaking, vomiting after taking medicine does not indicate that the medicine is ineffective. Could you please tell me the child’s fever temperature? If the fever is not very high, you can use warm water to wipe the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, and the armpits to implement physical cooling. If the fever is high, you can use a fever-reducing suppository.
