What medicine to take for children with fever

  Pediatric fever is commonly associated with respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal infections, with bacterial and viral infections common in respiratory tract infections. For the treatment of pediatric fever, the internationally recognized drugs are ibuprofen and acetaminophen, both of which have similar side effects, onset of action and efficacy, and therefore do not need to be specifically chosen for their use. There are two main types of acetaminophen on the market: Tylenol for oral use and anal suppositories for fever reduction. When it is difficult for the child to cooperate with the fever-reducing medication, the fever suppositories can be used instead of treatment. These antipyretics are usually taken when the child’s body temperature exceeds 38°C, and can prevent fever-induced febrile convulsions.  Generally, pediatric fever is usually based on viral infection, there is no specific medicine, you can take Chinese medicine, such as the wind-cold side to give pediatric Chai Gui antipyretic oral liquid, the wind-heat side to give pediatric black beetle Qing Fever granules, pediatric fever fast Qing oral liquid, etc.. However, if there is a clear basis for bacterial infection, such as blood tests suggesting a significant increase in white blood cells, effective antibiotics should be selected, but antibiotics must be applied reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
