Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. May I ask if using a fever patch for children is accurate for taking temperature?Doctor's answer:
After using a fever patch, the measured body temperature is no longer accurate. There are many reasons for fever, such as bacterial infection, viral infection, or catching a cold. When taking medication, it is important to choose drugs with fewer side effects. When the temperature is not above 38.5, focus on drinking more water. It is recommended to give the baby more porridge. For children with fever below 38.5 degrees, do not give fever-reducing medication or injections, and the baby should be given more water. Pay attention to whether the environmental temperature is too high, and it may be necessary to have a detailed examination if needed.
