Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. What should I do if a baby has a fever and refuses to take medicine?Doctor's answer:
The initial symptoms of fever in children include red face, warm forehead, cold hands and feet, and poor spirits. Additionally, various systemic symptoms may be present, such as a runny nose, sore throat, and cough during respiratory infections, or abdominal pain and vomiting during gastroenteritis. Hello, fever in children is a common occurrence, usually caused by colds. 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°C, as medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods should be prioritized, such as applying alcohol to the body and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38°C, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can be taken.
