What should I do if 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 used primarily, such as applying alcohol to the body and 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.
