What should I do if a child has a fever and cramps?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, fever in children is a common phenomenon, usually caused by a cold. Since children's thermoregulatory centers are not yet fully developed, they are easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and fever-reducing medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be used as the primary approach, such as applying alcohol for a body rub, washing the face and forehead with lukewarm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken.
