Question
A one-and-a-half-year-old child has a fever and has already taken fever-reducing medicine. Do they still need to use a rectal suppository?
Answer
After a child has taken fever-reducing medicine and the fever has subsided, it is generally not necessary to use a rectal suppository. It is important to continue monitoring the child’s condition, ensuring they have adequate fluid intake, and allowing them sufficient rest. If the fever symptoms persist or recur, consult with a doctor or healthcare professional for advice.
