Question
The three-year-old child has been experiencing intermittent fever since the 16th, with two episodes of fever at night, reaching a temperature of 41 degrees. The fever subsided half an hour after using a rectal medication, but it rose again a few hours later, accompanied by coughing. The child has already received intravenous treatment. The doctor at the clinic diagnosed it as a high fever caused by respiratory infection, and the parents are worried about the potential effects of such frequent fever.
Answer
It is not yet known whether the child has undergone a routine blood test? The child’s condition may need to consider the possibility of influenza. Frequent fever is not very risky for children, and parents do not need to be overly concerned. Determine the cause of the fever and provide treatment. You can give the child infant Bupleurum Granules for cooling. When the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, it is recommended to give paracetamol or fever-reducing medication. Drink plenty of water and closely monitor body temperature. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health!
