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. What should I do if my 18-month-old has a temperature of 38.3°C with no other symptoms?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 infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication. In your case, it may be caused by bronchitis, requiring treatment with antibiotics, hormones, antihistamines, antivirals, and traditional Chinese medicine. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods that are irritating. Regular exercise is recommended to strengthen your body.
