Patient's question:
Girl, the child is 11 years old. Recently, the child has had a fever and said their body hurts, but they don't know what's wrong. Please ask; what should I do if the fever is 38 degrees?Doctor's answer:
If you have a cold with a fever above 38.5°C, you can take fever-reducing medication, such as anti-inflammatory fever-reducing drugs. If it is accompanied by upper respiratory tract infection, it is necessary to use antibiotics in coordination for treatment. During a cold with fever, drink more water to help reduce swelling. Your diet should be as light as possible, and you should eat more foods rich in vitamins while avoiding spicy, irritating, greasy, and extremely cold foods. Rest well and avoid overexertion.In addition to treatment, patients should maintain a regular sleep schedule, take good care to stay warm, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water. Good lifestyle habits also help prevent the occurrence of diseases.
