Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Should I take medicine if I have a fever of 38.2 degrees?Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous and can be clinically categorized into infectious and non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common. Common causes include colds. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and treat it accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children. Fever can be managed through physical cooling methods such as fluid supplementation, wet compresses, and alcohol baths. If any discomfort occurs, follow-up is recommended at any time, and hospitalization may be necessary if needed.
