Question
Patient Inquiry: After the baby had a cold with a fever, the doctor prescribed an anti-inflammatory oral liquid. However, after taking it, the baby always wants to sleep. Is this normal? How was the previous treatment effect?
Answer
The attending physician responded: The baby’s frequent desire to take a nap may be related to the symptoms of the cold and fever, rather than a direct reaction to the anti-inflammatory oral liquid. It is recommended to continue taking the anti-inflammatory oral liquid while appropriately administering antipyretic medication. Ensure that the baby is well-hydrated and maintains good bowel habits during treatment to facilitate recovery.
