Question
A 1-year-old baby had a high fever of 38.9 degrees due to a scare and developed diarrhea after taking Baoshi Pill. Should I continue with the medication and what are the treatment methods?
Answer
There are many causes of fever, including bacterial infections, viral infections, and catching a cold. When taking medication, it’s important to choose drugs with minimal side effects. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, drinking plenty of water should be the basis. If the temperature is higher, active use of fever-reducing medication and physical cooling methods are needed. Additionally, drinking plenty of water is essential, and blood tests may be necessary if required to determine the situation.
