A one-year-old baby with a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius can use rectal suppositories for fever reduction?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pay attention to observing the baby's general condition, including spirit, appetite, urination and defecation, and sleep. If the general condition is good and the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling is sufficient. It is both safe and effective. Do not use rectal suppositories, as they are potent and may cause collapse and damage to the anus.
