Child has a fever of 37.5 degrees, how to reduce fever

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. Please ask how to reduce fever when the child has a fever of 37.5 degrees.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, as medication 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. Since the child is affected by neonatal diseases, the mother must take the child to the hospital for timely medical treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Symptomatic treatment should be administered promptly. For parents, it is important to closely monitor changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
