Patient's question:
What should I do if the child has a fever? 38.5 degrees, not crying or fussingDoctor's answer:
There are many causes of fever: primarily bacterial and viral infections that lead to respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, resulting in fever. What parents can do is provide sufficient nutrition based on their child's age and physical development, and add complementary foods in a timely, reasonable, and balanced manner. It is especially important to remind parents that if a child's fever persists for more than three days without improvement, or if the child experiences high fever or convulsions, they should seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
