Patient's question:
The big child has tears in their eyes all the time. By 8 or 9 in the evening, they felt their temperature was very high, almost 39.1 or a bit over 39 degrees. I just want to ask how to reduce the fever. Besides, I also want to ask why such a young child would have a high fever?Past medical treatment and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: Why did they have a high fever?
Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, there are quite a few causes of fever in children. It is necessary to first identify the cause of the fever and then address it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is also important to control the temperature.Advice: It is recommended to primarily use methods of drug-induced cooling and physical cooling. The specific medication should preferably be used under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, nausea and vomiting caused by long-term medication can usually recover on their own after discontinuation. Generally, if the fever is below 38°C, antipyretic medication is necessary. If the fever is below 38°C, antipyretic medication is generally not required, and physical cooling should be the primary approach. Use a warm towel (37°C) to rub the entire body and drink plenty of warm water. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
