Question
Can babies with low fever take chlorphenamine maleate tablets?
Answer
Chlorphenamine maleate tablets are antihistamines used for treating low fever in children, but they are not effective. When the body temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be adopted, such as drinking plenty of water, using warm water or a small amount of alcohol to wipe the neck, armpits, and inguinal areas to help cool down. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is necessary to use antipyretic medication promptly, such as ibuprofen granules, and combine it with physical cooling. The diet should be light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and attention should be paid to rest and warmth. If the fever recurs or does not subside, it may be due to inflammation. It is recommended to check blood routine to understand the blood picture. If the blood count is high, it is necessary to use anti-inflammatory drugs promptly, such as cefixime granules.
