Question
The baby has a fever at night with a thick, yellow tongue coating. The fever is relieved with anti-inflammatory medication at night, and the symptoms disappear during the day. Previous treatment and effects: taking anti-inflammatory medication. Desired assistance: How to handle frequent nighttime fevers, which have been ongoing for three days, and the symptoms disappear during the day.
Answer
For a baby with a cold and fever, it is recommended to use Qingfei San for treatment, mixed with honey. If there are only symptoms of fever, runny nose, and nasal congestion, it is suggested to give the child Acetaminophen Yellow Sodium granules to reduce fever. If the fever is severe or high, use Cefixime granules for anti-inflammatory purposes. Usually, Qingfei San alone is sufficient. If the fever persists or other symptoms such as coughing, dry vomiting, and lack of energy appear, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a urine test to determine if the infection is bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma, and then prescribe medication based on the urine test results.
