What medicine should be used to lower the temperature when a child has a fever of 38 degrees?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius. In such cases, fever-reducing medication is not necessary, and physical cooling methods can be primarily used, such as applying alcohol for a body rub or washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, it is generally advisable to take ibuprofen suspension or naproxen.
