How can a child with a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius reduce it?

Patient's question:

Heaven, it gets hot every afternoon at 4 PM, ranging from 38.5 to 38.8 degrees. After taking Anruike, it subsided, but then it got hot again at night. During the day, it's fine and not hot. The throat isn't red, no fever, but there is coughing.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Feineng Granules, Xinkeno, Amoxicillin.
What kind of help is needed: Hello, where is the problem? What medicine are you taking?

Doctor's answer:

According to your situation, there are quite a few causes for children's fever. It is necessary to first identify the cause of the fever and then address it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is also important to control the temperature.
Recommendations:
It is mainly recommended to use drug-based and physical cooling methods. The specific medication should preferably be used under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, nausea and vomiting caused by long-term medication can usually recover on their own after discontinuation.
Generally, if the fever is below 38°C, antipyretic medication is necessary. If the fever is below 38°C, antipyretic medication is generally not required, and physical cooling should be the primary approach. Use a 37°C warm towel to gently rub the entire body and drink plenty of warm water.
I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
