Type of Help Needed:
The doctor said it's not pneumonia.

Doctor's answer:

First of all, I’d be happy to help you. Regarding your situation, a child’s high fever should not be ignored. A child’s normal body temperature is 36.9℃—37.5℃. Around 38℃ is considered a low-grade fever, while 39℃ is considered a high fever.
Advice: It is recommended that you first try to lower your child’s temperature using physical methods. Wiping the child’s body with alcohol goes beyond the purpose of cooling down. If the child’s fever persists, it is advisable to take them to a regular hospital for examination.
The above is the advice for the question "How to deal with a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided for two days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
