Question

My baby has a high fever that comes and goes every few hours, but it soon returns. Yesterday, the doctor prescribed Qingkailing Granules and Compound Zinc Balsam Granules, but they seem to have little effect. Is there any other way to treat it?

Answer

A baby’s fever may be a symptom of an infection and requires active medication and symptomatic treatment. It is usually possible to take fever-reducing drugs or Naproxen tablets, and perform a complete blood count test to determine the cause. There is no need to worry excessively; the doctor will provide appropriate treatment recommendations.
