What should I do if a child's body temperature is only 35.9 degrees Celsius?

Patient's question:

On November 21 evening, I had a fever. After taking fever-reducing medicine, it subsided, but then it came back after 6 to 8 hours. The highest fever reached 39.2 degrees Celsius.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is not ruled out that the child's hypothermia symptoms are caused by an overdose of medication. It is recommended to take necessary warming measures immediately and strive to restore the child's body temperature to the normal range of around 36.7°C. If necessary, seek detailed examination and treatment in the pediatric department. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more prone to conditions such as general pediatric surgery. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
