Dosage of Fever Reducing Medication for Babies Under Two Years Old

Question

How should babies under two years old be correctly administered fever reducing medication, and what is the recommended frequency of use per day?

Answer

When it comes to administering fever reducing medication, for babies under two years old, half a packet can be used per dose. It is suggested to use it when the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, and the frequency of use within a day should not exceed four to six times. If the body temperature does not decrease or there are repeated episodes of fever, further examination of routine blood test (routine blood test) may be necessary to understand if the fever is caused by inflammation. If the blood test shows abnormalities, it may be necessary to use medications such as cefixime granules for anti-inflammatory treatment. In terms of physical cooling (cooling), you can use warm water to wipe the baby’s neck, armpits, and inguinal regions to help lower the baby’s temperature. If the above measures still fail to reduce the body temperature, you can repeat the use of fever reducing medication every four to six hours.
