Question
A mother inquired, her 8-month-old son had a fever and runny nose due to the change of seasons. Her mother-in-law suggested immediate medical attention, but she was worried that the doctor might prescribe medication. She wanted to know if it was necessary to take the child to the hospital or if she could buy medication herself. She wondered how to select the appropriate medication for an 8-month-old baby with a less severe condition.
Answer
If the baby is in good spirits, it usually indicates that the condition is not severe. It is recommended to use a comprehensive cold medicine to reduce fever, such as HuaTong or Sanjing Huangna Sensitivity Granules. If the baby’s body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, there is no need for fever-reducing medication, and physical cooling methods can be tried, such as using BingBing Fever-Reducing Patches. BingBing Fever-Reducing Patches are easy to use, contain natural plant extracts, have no harmful ingredients, do not cause side effects, can quickly reduce fever, protect the brain, and open up heat conduction channels.
