Question
What is the treatment plan for a 1-year-old child with a fever? Can you avoid injections or medication to reduce the fever?
Answer
Fever can be caused by various reasons, such as pneumonia and respiratory infections. It is important to consult a hospital for a detailed examination and symptomatic treatment. Avoid using antibiotics and select a treatment method based on the diagnosis. Currently, antiviral oral liquid or pediatric cool-relieving and detoxifying oral liquid can be administered. If the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can take medications like Merck or Rizqing to reduce the fever. For temperatures below this level, physical cooling methods can be used, along with increased fluid intake and consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits, while avoiding spicy foods.
