Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. If my temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, what kind of fever-reducing medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Generally, fever-reducing medication is recommended when the temperature exceeds 38.5°C. Children's body temperature fluctuations are larger compared to adults. So you can wait and see, drink more water, and use moderate physical cooling. You can use alcohol to wipe the palms, soles, forehead, and armpits. You can apply ice packs to the armpits. If the temperature does not show a decreasing trend, medication to reduce fever is still necessary.There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let their children develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
