Xu Dingyuan said that many parents often hang up in the emergency room because their children have a fever in the middle of the night. In fact, when a child has a fever, he can use antipyretics to relieve the symptoms first, without going to the hospital immediately. Parents are advised to prepare antipyretic water and suppositories at home and use them alternately according to their children's fever. How should I use antipyretics? Xu Dingyuan explained that the antipyretic liquid for children is mainly composed of acetaminophen and ibuprofen, and the antipyretic sevorum is similar to ibuprofen. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can try acetaminophen first, and ibuprofen above 39 degrees. If the child can't cooperate with the medication, you can consider using suppositories.

In addition, infants with weak gastrointestinal function can also prepare gastrointestinal drugs and antidiarrheal drugs suitable for children at home. Antibiotics must be prescribed by doctors, because they need to calculate the weight to determine the dose, so they should not be used as standing drugs at home.

Experts remind: If the child is less than 3 months old, the fever must be sent to the doctor immediately.
