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. Could you please tell me if it's necessary to take fever-reducing pills for 37.4°C?Doctor's answer:
Hello, 37.4 degrees is considered a low fever. Generally, this body temperature can be temporarily managed without taking fever-reducing medication. You can consider using lukewarm water to bathe your body for cooling. Pay attention to drinking more water and monitoring changes in your body temperature. If your temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, you can consider taking fever-reducing medication. If you have a cold, you can take Sanjiu Cold Relief. Hello, such a condition is often considered infectious fever, which may be caused by viral or bacterial infections. It is advisable to primarily use physical cooling methods, such as applying cold compresses to your forehead. If your temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, you can take ibuprofen suspension for medication to reduce fever.
