What kind of fever-reducing medicine is better for children?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, fever is a defensive response. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, there is no need for antipyretic treatment. Rest, keep warm, and drink plenty of warm water. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for symptomatic treatment, and at the same time, you can apply physical cooling methods.
