Question
If a four-year-old child keeps on having a fever with temperatures ranging from 37.6 to 38.2 degrees, and the fever persists on the third day despite receiving intramuscular treatment, and the child is in good spirits, the doctor has prescribed medications including Acetaminophen, Amoxicillin, and anti-inflammatory granules. The parent asks whether they should give the child Pudendan-like drugs and whether fever medicine is needed at this temperature.
Answer
Dear parent, based on the information you provided, as the child’s temperature has not dropped below 38.5 degrees, there is no need for oral fever medicine at this time. You can give them children’s exterior-relieving granules for fever reduction. If the child shows signs of tonsillitis, you can also consider oral Pudendan. In this case, there is no need to use anti-inflammatory granules additionally. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you and wish you and your child good health!
