Fever generally refers to an elevated body temperature. If a child experiences recurrent fever caused by a viral infection leading to upper respiratory tract infection, antiviral medications such as ribavirin granules, oseltamivir granules, or peramivir injection may be used under medical supervision. If the fever results from poor dietary hygiene or frequent overeating causing acute gastroenteritis, with the immune system affected by pathogenic bacteria or viruses, medications such as Ganchangshu capsules or berberine hydrochloride tablets may be administered under medical guidance.
