Patient's question:
A one-year-old child was scalded with hot water yesterday and developed blisters. They went to the hospital that night for treatment and bandaging. This morning, they have a slightly high fever of around 38.5°C. They went to the hospital that night for treatment and bandaging; applied ointment—is this normal?Doctor's answer:
According to what you mentioned, fever is a symptom of many diseases. Simply lowering the fever does not mean the illness has been cured. It is essential to treat the disease that caused the fever to truly bring it down.When the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use fever-reducing medication or Lin's antipyretic treatment. When the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use warm water to bathe the body to lower the temperature, or apply a fever-reducing patch to the forehead to help reduce fever and protect the brain.
