Patient's question:
Since 1:00 AM last night, I noticed signs of a fever. By tonight, it had reached 39 degrees Celsius. I gave her some fever-reducing medicine, but it had no effect.Previous Treatment and Effect: Generally, taking medicine works fine. The child is usually very healthy.
Desired Help: How can fever be reduced most appropriately?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, with a temperature like this, timely treatment is necessary. You can consider taking some fever-reducing medication orally to lower the fever. Additionally, it's a good idea to use alcohol for physical cooling.If the child's fever reaches 39 degrees, you can first use alcohol to wipe the child's body to help lower the fever. Once it drops below 38.5 degrees, you can take fever-reducing medication orally, such as fever-reducing granules or oral liquid. You can repeat the dose after an interval of more than 4 hours, and it's important to drink plenty of water.
