Patient's question:
The child has had a runny nose for more than three days and a high fever close to 40 degrees.Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Physical cooling methods are commonly used, such as applying cold compresses to the forehead. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medication like ibuprofen suspension can be used for fever reduction. The main treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, and a blood test should be conducted for reference in the treatment.
