Question
Can suppositories and oral fever-reducing medication be used at the same time when an infant has a fever?
Answer
Hello, when a child has a fever, both oral fever-reducing medication and pediatric fever-reducing suppositories can be used together. Taking cefaclor, pediatric tonsil granules, and acyclovir are also options. Generally, pediatric tonsillitis is relatively easy to treat. However, there are many precautions to note: diet-wise, drink plenty of water, avoid eating shrimp, lamb, crab, do not consume yogurt drinks or chocolate candy bars, do not drink cold drinks, and avoid cold, spicy, and pungent foods. Additionally, during a fever, medication may not be necessary; you can use the method of rubbing the spine to reduce the fever, which is also very effective. This involves rubbing the spine until it turns red or purple to quickly reduce the fever without any side effects.
