Question
A seven-month-old baby has a fever. Can they take phenylbutazone tablets? The recommended dose is 1/5 of a tablet, and past treatments have shown that drinking it helps to reduce the fever, but it soon returns. I would like to ask how to effectively bring down the fever.
Answer
It is recommended to drink plenty of water to avoid electrolyte imbalance, and cefixime can be taken for anti-infection, along with Shu Gui oral liquid for fever reduction and Pu Di Lan oral liquid for clearing heat and detoxification. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, which are also effective.
