Patient's question:
Last night I had a fever of 38.5 degrees. Treatment history and effectiveness: I didn't take any medicine and slept for a whole day. What kind of help do I need now: How should I deal with the high fever of 38.5 degrees now?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and identify the cause for targeted treatment to be effective. Pay attention to whether it could be a viral cold, tonsillitis, or potentially pneumonia with subtle symptoms. Conduct a careful examination and provide targeted treatment. Of course, the first step is to promptly control the fever, as high temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children. The main methods are drug-induced cooling and physical cooling. Specific medications should preferably be used under the guidance of a doctor. The above suggestions are for the question "Fever and pain, taking medicine issue." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
