Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Is a baby's body temperature of 38 degrees Celsius within the normal range?Doctor's answer:
The baby has a slight fever. Generally, it is not necessary to take fever-reducing medication if the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees. Physical cooling methods should be the primary approach, such as applying alcohol for a body rub and washing the face and forehead with lukewarm water.If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take the child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
