Question
An 8-month-old baby has a fever of 39 degrees Celsius, and there is no significant improvement after taking Merck. Is it appropriate to hang saline?
Answer
The baby has no other discomforts, and it is considered possible that it may be infantile roseola, which usually resolves naturally after 3 to 5 days of fever. When the baby’s body temperature reaches 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can give Merck for fever reduction, and you can also supplement with taurine granules for cooling and detoxification. If necessary, you can take the baby to the hospital for intravenous drug infusion, such as Yanhuning, to achieve better therapeutic effects. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
