Question
The child has been experiencing recurrent fever with a sore throat. They are currently taking Oseltamivir capsules and Lanqin. Do they need additional medication? When can the effect be seen?
Answer
Common causes of fever in children include viral and bacterial infections. The usual duration of a fever is about 2 to 3 days. If the child has recurring high fever and is not feeling well, they should be seen by a doctor promptly. If the child has a fever with a body temperature above 38.5°C, antipyretic medication should be administered. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling (cooling) can be performed. If the medication does not show any effect after three days, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up and consider intravenous treatment.
