Question
The baby is seven months old and has been suffering from recurrent fever. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the normal body temperature can be maintained for about three hours, around 38.5 degrees. Three days ago, there was a runny nose, and children’s paracetamol yellow amanitin granules have been taken. After the fever, ribavirin and cefixime have been administered. Ask how to treat to accelerate recovery.
Answer
Viral infections often cause fever in children, and one characteristic of viral infections is recurrent fever. For children with fever, it is generally not recommended to use fever-reducing medicine or fever-reducing injections if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees. It is suggested to give the baby plenty of water to drink, as this type of fever usually does not last long. Additionally, you can offer the baby some cool juice or give them a warm bath to lower their body temperature after a few hours. Moreover, you can let the child drink some colostrum to enhance their resistance in a timely manner and reduce the risk of infection.
