(Question)

My child has been running a high fever for two days, with the fever coming and going at night, and it has risen again in the morning. I gave him fever-reducing medication at 8 p.m. yesterday, which did lower his temperature, but it was 35.5 degrees. What should I do? Can he still drink Seasonal Antiviral? The blood test at the hospital said there was nothing serious, it should be viral. My baby has small red bumps on his body now. Thank you for your reply.

The child’s low temperature may be due to improper use of fever-reducing medication, which prevents the body’s temperature regulation center from functioning normally. It is recommended to pay attention to the dosage of the medication and give the child plenty of water to promote the metabolism of the medication.
