Antipyretic and analgesic agents, such as Bupleurum injection or compound aminopyrine 10mL, intramuscular injection, 2 times daily, for 3 consecutive days.

Add water and administer orally, once daily; or use 10% sulfadiazine sodium 20mL, intramuscular injection, once daily, for 3 consecutive days.
