Patient's question:
Boy, the child is 11 years old. Recently, the child has had a fever and said that their body hurts, but they don't know what's wrong. Please ask; what should be done if a child has a fever and convulsions?Doctor's answer:
A child with a fever above 38.5°C needs to be given fever-reducing medication, such as an anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing suspension. Since the child's fever has reached 39°C, it is best to check a blood test for the child. If it is a bacterial infection, they will need to take anti-inflammatory medication. If it is a viral infection, they should take antiviral medication.In addition to treatment, the patient should maintain a regular schedule, keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water. Good living habits also help prevent the occurrence of diseases.
