Fever of 39.5 degrees, what should I do?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What should I do if I have a fever of 39.5 degrees?

Doctor's answer:

This could be caused by inflammation, or it's also possible that it's due to a viral infection. It's recommended to undergo comprehensive examinations to identify the cause before starting treatment, and follow-up checks should be paid attention to. There are many reasons that can affect the pediatric respiratory system. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
