Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to whether it could be a viral cold, tonsillitis, or otitis media. It could also be pneumonia with mild symptoms. See a doctor to get a clear diagnosis. Control the temperature promptly to prevent high fever seizures. Use fever-reducing medication and then treat the underlying cause. A common cold usually takes 7-10 days to heal on its own. Common fever-reducing medications include "Tylenol, Tylenol, Motrin, Children's Tylenol Chewing Tablets," etc. Use them when the temperature is below 38.5°C. In cases of high fever in children, they should be used in conjunction with fever-reducing medication to prevent seizures from recurring. Therefore, fever-reducing medication should be an essential part of every household's pediatric medicine. Additionally, provide plenty of warm water to drink, and physical cooling methods such as ice packs or alcohol rubs on major blood vessels can also be used.
