Question
My daughter, who is 6 years old, started saying her throat hurt. The medicine didn’t work, and she then developed a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius. After two days of taking ceftriaxone at the outpatient clinic, she still had a fever. Upon hospital examination, there was no problem with her lungs. After two days of intravenous drip with fever-reducing medication, the fever returned to 39 degrees Celsius. We’re desperate. Should we start with medication or go straight to injections? She’s just running a fever.
Answer
It’s best to go to the hospital for an immediate check-up, while also paying attention to comprehensive digestive nutrition and timely temperature reduction. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it’s best to use physical cooling methods, such as using a fever-reducing patch, which has minimal side effects and is effective. The above suggestions are for the question “My daughter, who is 6 years old and has already started saying her throat hurts and the medicine didn’t work,” hoping it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
