Patient's question:
The baby went for a walk in the stroller this afternoon. When they came back, they fell asleep. It got very windy and cold on the way. By the time they got home, their hands were freezing. A little while later, their forehead started to feel hot. Now they have a fever of 38.3 degrees and are also coughing. They wake up as soon as they touch the bed. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous. For fever, it is necessary to first identify the cause and implement solutions targeting the cause. When the body temperature is too high, it can easily lead to high fever convulsions in children, which poses a serious threat to the baby's health. Therefore, it is also necessary to control the body temperature to ensure that the baby's temperature remains within the normal range. The main methods include drug-based cooling and physical cooling. Specific medication is best used under the guidance of a doctor.
