How to properly handle a child with high fever

Patient's question:

The day before yesterday, my child had a high fever. After using the fever reducer patch, why is he crying so much? Is it because his throat hurts?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: Fever reducer patch
Desired help: I want my child to get better as soon as possible. I hope to get some help.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, the baby's fever is still caused by an infection. If the sore throat is not ruled out, it may be recommended that parents take the baby back for a follow-up visit to have a complete blood test to determine whether it is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Then, corresponding treatment can be taken based on the doctor's diagnosis. At the same time, fever-reducing medication can be used to lower the temperature, and attention should be paid to providing the baby with more fluids in daily life to prevent dehydration caused by fever.
