Question
My son is 4 years old and has had a persistent fever for several days, with the highest temperature reaching 40 degrees. He has taken Paracetamol but still has symptoms of sore throat, abdominal pain, and dry vomiting. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
It is recommended that parents take their child to see a pediatrician for fever reduction and symptomatic treatment, and possibly intravenous treatment if necessary. In terms of medication, since the child has already taken Paracetamol and is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat and abdominal pain, it is advised not to administer oral Zinc Lozenges immediately. Lianhua Qingwen Granules and Oseltamivir Granules can be considered, along with ensuring the child drinks plenty of water. These suggestions are for reference only, and the specific treatment plan should be determined by the doctor based on the child’s actual condition.
