Question
A 4-year-old child had a low fever of 38-39 degrees caused by influenza virus 4 days ago. At 1 pm today, the child took fever-reducing Chinese medicine, and two hours later, received a fever-reducing injection, with the body temperature dropping to 35.5 degrees. The coughing has become severe. Previous treatment and effects: fever reduction and inflammation, but the fever did not subside after 4 days. What kind of assistance is needed: how to better treat and care for the child.
Answer
Pay attention if the body temperature continues to exceed 36 degrees, keep warm and try to avoid using fever-reducing injections as the child may be sensitive to them. If the coughing worsens, it is recommended to take oral antibiotics as bacterial infections often occur at this stage. The above suggestions are for the issue of “low fever caused by influenza virus turning into high fever,” hoping it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
