Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please advise on what fever-reducing measures to take for a baby with a temperature of 38.7°C?Doctor's answer:
Body temperature of 38.7 degrees can be treated with physical cooling methods, such as applying cold compresses to the head, neck, groin area, and bathing limbs with warm water, etc. Drink more water. If the temperature rises further, use fever-reducing medication and seek medical examination at the hospital. There are many reasons that can cause respiratory problems in children. If a child is diagnosed with respiratory issues, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let their children develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
