Childhood pneumonia has recurred, using inhalation therapy but the fever is not subsiding. What should be done?

Patient's question:

The child went to the hospital and was told it was a pneumonia outbreak. They did inhalation therapy and took fever-reducing medicine, but the fever hasn't gone down. The doctor said there's no way to reduce the fever without intravenous fluids. I want to ask if there are any methods to quickly reduce the fever.

Doctor's answer:

Children with pneumonia often have high fever due to infection. Generally, oral fever-reducing medication or suppositories are recommended. Medication should be administered, and physical cooling measures should be taken to help reduce fever quickly. If the effect is not significant, intravenous fluid can be considered, with small, frequent amounts of lukewarm water.
