Question
An 8-month-old baby experienced a fever after taking fever-reducing medicine, but then the fever returned, and the baby seemed listless without any symptoms of coughing or runny nose. The doctor diagnosed it as herpangina. How can the baby recover quickly?
Answer
The baby has been diagnosed with herpangina, and interferon nebulization therapy is the most effective treatment. Fever is a process that needs time, and if the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, fever-reducing medicine can be taken orally, with a gap of over 4 hours before repeating the dose. At the same time, antiviral drugs and intravenous antibiotics are used to control the fever that occurs after infection.
