Question

The two-year-old child has a fever of 37.3 to 38 degrees Celsius, lasting for a day and a half. The child fell from the sofa the day before, could it be due to fright? There are no other symptoms besides the fever. Cold medication has been taken but it did not work. Ibuprofen was used to reduce the fever, and Longyuan pills were used at night. The child has another fever today and ibuprofen was used again. Ask for appropriate treatment medications.

Answer

Based on the medical history, the child’s fever is unlikely to be associated with the fall. It may be due to an upper respiratory infection. Since the fever recurs, it is recommended to visit a regular pediatric department or community health service institution for re-examination, where a professional doctor will conduct a detailed examination and make a comprehensive assessment of the condition based on blood routine tests and other results. If diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, appropriate medication can be used under the guidance of a doctor. It is suggested to increase fluid intake and have adequate rest. Wishing for an early recovery and happiness every day!
