Patient's question:
Started having a fever at noon two days ago, 38.3 degrees, still having it now, intermittent, not continuous fever, no obvious symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease.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 preparations or acetaminophen for symptomatic treatment, and at the same time, you can use physical cooling methods.
