OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) clinical pharmacists practising in non-TCM medical institutions to participate in modern medicine team treatment and apply Chinese patent drug treatment of infectious fever in children.

METHODS TCM clinical pharmacists participated in the TCM pharmacy consultation of a case of infectious fever in a child, determined the TCM disease name as dampness-warmth disease, and accordingly provided a Chinese patent drug treatment plan. The child applied Xiao Chaihu granules(1 packet, tid, po) at noon on the day of the consultation, and the temperature dropped to below 37 °C at night, and the medicine was stopped after 4 consecutive days. Longdan Xiegan pill and Sanren combination were added once each on the next day and the third day of the consultation, but due to a mistake in purchasing the dosage form or because of the taste of the preparation, each was taken once and then not taken again.

RESULTS The child was cooled down on the day of application of Chinese patent drugs and had no further fever until discharge from the hospital.

CONCLUSION Chinese patent drugs are used to treat infectious fever in children with undeniable efficacy. The rational use of Chinese patent drugs can be used as an entry point for the work of TCM clinical pharmacists in non-TCM medical institutions to participate in modern medicine treatment.
