Question

What medication should I give a 4-year-old child who has a fever and oral herpes?

Answer

It is advised to take the child to a local hospital for a routine blood test to help determine whether the infection is viral or bacterial. Treatment can then be administered based on the results of the test, and there is no need to worry excessively. At the same time, ensure the child drinks plenty of water, and use fever-reducing medication if necessary.
