Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! My son is 7 years old, he has a fever of 39 degrees and has been having convulsions, which stopped after about 3 minutes.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 factors that can cause respiratory issues 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 let their children develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
