Question
Can a 15-month-old baby take compound zinc granules when they have a fever of 38.7 degrees?
Answer
If the baby’s fever exceeds 38.5 degrees and there are no contraindications for other medications, compound zinc granules can be considered. However, it is recommended to use them under a doctor’s guidance and to closely monitor the baby’s condition. If the fever persists, consider using symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications such as amoxicillin or cefaclor at the same time to enhance the therapeutic effect.
