Question
These days, my boss has said that I’m not in good mental condition, which affects my work performance. In fact, I don’t want it to be like this either. I often have trouble sleeping at night and sometimes feel anxious, not feeling very comfortable. I’m worried that this will affect my physical health and work. Can I use indomethacin and other antipyretics simultaneously when I have a fever of 39 degrees?
Answer
In your situation, it is recommended to first use alcohol sponge baths to lower your body temperature and then find out the cause of the fever. There are many reasons for a fever, with the most common being fever caused by infection. Do not rush to take medication before determining the cause. Be sure to find out the cause of the fever first, and then consider taking medication; do not take medication arbitrarily. For baby fevers, if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, it is usually not recommended to use antipyretics. If the temperature is higher than this value, consider using ibuprofen suspension or other antipyretics such as Shuanghuanglian, Merck, or others, and treat with amoxicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics. Remember to drink plenty of water, keep warm, and avoid any irritating factors.
