Question
A child has been running a fever for three days, with temperatures ranging between 37.6°C and 38.2°C. The child has already received intramuscular injections and taken antipyretic medication, but the condition has been recurring. The child is in good spirits, and the parent asks whether it is necessary to use drugs like Pudelain, as well as whether other antipyretic medications are needed.
Answer
It is recommended to conduct a routine blood test and prescribe medication based on the test results to promote the child’s quick recovery. If the fever persists for more than three days and the temperature does not drop, it may be due to ineffective medication or insufficient fluid intake. When the temperature is below 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be taken; if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, consider adding Pudelain anti-inflammatory oral liquid. If the fever is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics such as penicillin or cephalosporins can be added. Avoid using antibiotics arbitrarily. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health!
