Question
A 3-year-old child had a fever on the 20th and felt better after taking fever medication. On the 21st, everything was normal during the day, but at night, the child felt warm in the legs and cool on the head while sleeping. By morning, the leg temperature had returned to normal. This situation hadn’t occurred after taking medication before. How should we handle this now?
Answer
Fever in children is usually caused by catching a cold. Under a doctor’s guidance, you can give the child a moderate dose of oral small pieces of Keflex, ibuprofen granules, cefixime granules, and pediatric magaldrate granules for treatment. At the same time, you can administer intramuscular injections of analgin, lincomycin, and dexamethasone. These measures help stabilize the condition and there is no need to worry excessively. During this period, it is important to ensure that the child stays well-hydrated. Wishing the child a healthy growth.
