How long does it take for the fever to subside after taking the anti-inflammatory injection?

The common cold is the easiest and most common cause of inflammation. Or other urinary tract infections, other types of infections, etc. can also cause inflammation, but it is often the infection caused by a cold or lung that will cause a fever. Fever is a more serious situation. First of all, when anti-inflammatory drugs cannot cure it, you need to get an anti-inflammatory injection. Generally, injections are the fastest way to reduce temperature, and the fever can be reduced in about one or two hours.

1. The most common cause of fever in children is infection. If the fever lasts for more than 48 hours, or other symptoms such as coughing, vomiting, and lack of energy occur, you need to go to the hospital for a blood test to see if it is a bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection. Symptomatic medication should be used based on the blood test results. The doctor should also listen to the lungs or take a chest X-ray to see if there is pneumonia. If the fever lasts for a long time, you should also pay attention to whether there is Epstein-Barr virus infection. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, take Motrin orally to reduce fever. Motrin should not be taken more than four times a day. If the high fever persists after taking Motrin, antipyretic injections are needed. Fever below 38.5 degrees is considered low fever. Physical cooling should be used. Drink plenty of water. Use a warm towel to wipe the child's neck, armpits, groin, thighs, etc. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid greasy, irritating, and spicy foods.

2. I don’t know if it’s because of a cough and sore throat after a cold, or because of a fever caused by diarrhea. The inflammation will not subside in one day of medication, and it usually takes more than 3 days. If your fever is caused by cough or diarrhea, it usually takes more than 3 days of medication to be effective. If the fever is caused by pharyngitis or tonsillitis, the treatment time is usually more than one week. If you really have diarrhea, you can consider oral medication. Commonly used drugs include PPA, Levofloxacin, metronidazole, cephalosporins, etc. You can choose to use two antibiotics in combination. If the amount of diarrhea is large, you can consider intravenous treatment. It usually takes 3 days to recover.

3. If the infection is serious, the fever will not go away quickly. Guidance: The fever will subside after the infection is under control. The doctor will gradually adjust the treatment plan based on your relevant examination results. If the fever still does not subside, the antibiotics will be changed. The fever will subside only after the infection is controlled. The doctor will gradually adjust the treatment plan based on your relevant test results. If the fever still does not subside, the antibiotics will be changed.

4. If the fever is not high, it is best not to get an injection. Try to cool down physically and use a fever-reducing patch. If it is a high fever, you still need an injection. Generally, one injection can reduce the fever, but if it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, you will need to get two more injections.

5. Fever can be treated symptomatically, such as drinking more water, wiping the body with warm water, applying a fever-reducing patch, etc. Physical cooling is not effective. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, you can take some antipyretic drugs, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be used if there is an inflammatory infection, but using anti-inflammatory drugs requires a process. After the inflammation is gradually controlled, the fever will gradually improve.
