Patient's question:
On Monday evening, the child slept during their nap with the electric fan on until midnight. On Tuesday, their spirits weren't very good when they came home from school. On Wednesday morning, they went to bed and had a slight fever. During the day at school, their temperature was 38.3°C, and they vomited once. What should I do for a 4-year-old child with a fever and vomiting?Doctor's answer:
If the baby's condition is like this, it is necessary to take fever-reducing medication to prevent complications caused by excessively high body temperature, which may be due to catching a cold. In this situation, it is important to monitor the body temperature frequently, drink more water, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. On a daily basis, attention should be paid to avoiding getting colds and focusing on strengthening the body. In daily life, the patient should balance their nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise the body, and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate recovery.
