Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Can fever be treated with fluoride toothpaste?Doctor's answer:
Children have a fever, and they cannot have fluoride applied to their teeth because it is easy to cause poisoning. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees, and there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Physical cooling methods should be the primary approach, such as applying alcohol to the body and washing the face and forehead with warm water.If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can generally be taken. There are many factors that can affect the respiratory system in children. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely 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.
