Question

I noticed my baby started to have a fever the night before last, with no other symptoms except for occasional sneezes. The fever ranged from 38 degrees to over 39 degrees, and it was slightly better this morning but started again in the afternoon. The blood test results said that compared to children of the same age of three years old, some values were slightly higher, but not particularly high. It was suggested that it might be due to a bacterial infection, but no specifics were mentioned.

Answer

Based on your description, your child’s condition should be considered as being caused by a cold. You should not use drugs like Shuanghuanglian Granules or Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Antiviral Medicine for colds caused by catching a cold.

  1. You can treat it with Wind-Cold Flu Granules.
  2. You can also use drugs like Double Puff Guaifenesin Tablets, Children’s Acetaminophen Paracetamol Granules, etc., for the common cold.
  3. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can use fever-reducing medicine like Children’s Anfen Yellow Granules for symptomatic treatment. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can frequently use warm water sponge baths to cool down or apply a fever-reducing patch to the forehead.
