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 how to reduce the fever when the child suddenly has a fever at night?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fever in children is a common phenomenon, usually caused by a cold. Since children's thermoregulatory centers are not yet fully developed, they are easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, as medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods should be prioritized, such as applying alcohol to the body, washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken.
