Question
Does the use of round-the-clock medication have any effects on children?
Answer
Children should not be given the same dosage as adults. Fever is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections, and treatment is primarily with antibiotics. Simply using fever-reducing medication only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. It is recommended to undergo blood routine tests and other checks to determine the cause of infection before treatment. It is important to drink plenty of water daily. If coughing persists for more than a month and is accompanied by shortness of breath, it may be allergic cough, and it is advisable to go to the hospital for a detailed examination or use asthma medication for diagnostic treatment.
