Doctor's answer:

Considering it may be infectious fever, it could be caused by 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 administered for fever reduction. The main treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, and a blood test is recommended for reference in the treatment.
