What should I do if a child keeps on having a fever after taking antipyretics? The medication doesn’t seem to work, and the child keeps on having a fever after taking antipyretics?
Answer
In such cases, if the child’s mental state is good, there is generally no need to worry too much. Currently, it is advisable to use antiviral medications such as antiviral oral liquids. However, it is still recommended that the child should go to the hospital for a routine blood test to check if there are any changes in the blood image, and also to have a blood test for pneumonia mycoplasma and a chest X-ray. Determine whether to use erythromycin or azithromycin. It is important to drink plenty of water, and the diet should be light and nutritious, with less spicy, greasy foods.
