Generally speaking, bacteria and viruses are the most common pathogens that cause infants to be infected. The treatment of fever caused by these two conditions is completely different.
If it is a bacterial infection, as long as the antibiotics are selected correctly, the treatment effect will be very good. If it is a virus infection, there is no specific medicine at present, and you can take Virin, Radix Isatidis granules, honeysuckle and so on. The fever caused by virus infection will decrease after a certain period of time. Don't grab your eyebrows and beard just because you have a fever, and use up all the medicine at once.

Many parents often mix different kinds of antipyretics for their children. The persistence of various drugs is different, and there may be overlapping effects when mixed. If the fever is too fierce and too urgent, and the body temperature drops below 36℃, new problems will arise. Parents can choose an antipyretic and be familiar with its dosage and interval, so as to use it easily.
