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. How should I handle the situation if the child's fever keeps not going down?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common being infections, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication.When children have upper respiratory infections, their nasal mucosa is already inflamed. If they inhale dry air, it will make their nasal discomfort worse and may also worsen coughing. Therefore, it's important to maintain moist room air. You can use a humidifier, hang damp towels, mop the floor with water, or place a basin of water in the room to increase the humidity.
