According to your statement: When the child's temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use a warm towel to wipe the armpits, groin, and other major artery areas to help lower the temperature, every 10 minutes. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use fever-reducing medicine to lower the temperature, and you can take the fever-reducing medicine according to the instructions on the package. Take the child to the hospital as soon as possible to check the blood routine, C-reactive protein, and mycoplasma to identify the following infectious causes.
