Patient's question:
These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What should I do if a child's temperature is 38.5?Doctor's answer:
Fever is mostly caused by bacterial or viral infections. The treatment primarily involves antibiotics. Simply using fever-reducing medication addresses only the symptoms, not the root cause. If the body temperature is too high, oral medications such as Motrin or naproxen can be used to reduce fever and prevent high-temperature convulsions. Physical cooling methods can also be applied.There are many triggers that can affect a child's respiratory system. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating or cold foods.
