Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How should I treat a five-and-a-half-month-old child with a fever?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, as medication for fever is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be used, such as applying alcohol to the body and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken. There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If a child is confirmed to have a respiratory system condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
