Question
The child, who is 4 years old, vomited twice on the evening of the 24th, and had a fever in the morning of the 25th. A blood test indicated a viral infection, and the fever subsided after intravenous fluid administration. However, the child started to have a fever again at 2 a.m. on the 26th. What’s going on?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have contracted a virus and experienced recurrent fever. When the child’s temperature reaches 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can administer antipyretics. If the temperature is lower, consider using Chai Gui or physical cooling (cooling). It is recommended to drink plenty of warm water, rest, and avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods. At the same time, avoid taking the child to crowded places with poor ventilation to prevent cross-infection.
