A two-year-old child has recurrent fever of 38°C. What medicine should they take?

Patient's question:

The child is two years old and has had repeated fever of around 38.4 degrees for two days, but has been in good spirits.
Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is desired: The child's mother wants to know what medicine can be used to reduce the fever.

Doctor's answer:

This situation primarily involves the use of medication and physical methods for fever reduction. Medication should ideally be used under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, nausea and vomiting caused by long-term medication use can typically recover on their own after discontinuation. Generally, if the fever is below 38°C, fever-reducing medication is necessary. If the fever is below 38°C, fever-reducing medication is usually not required, and physical cooling should be the primary approach. Use a 37°C warm towel to rub the entire body, and drink plenty of warm water.
