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 tell me what methods can quickly reduce my baby's fever?Doctor's answer:
Generally, fever is a defensive response. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, there is no need for antipyretic treatment. Rest, keep warm, and drink plenty of warm water. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for symptomatic treatment, and physical cooling methods can also be applied.There are many causes of respiratory problems in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
