Patient's question:
Female, 3 years old, my child has always had poor physical health. She often gets fever and colds. Now I want to know how to handle repeated fever of 38 degrees in children?Doctor's answer:
It's recommended that you don't get nervous. If the child's temperature is below 38.5 degrees, some physical cooling measures are sufficient. There's no need to give medication just because of a fever. If the temperature rises above 38.5 degrees, you can then give some fever-reducing medication. It's also advisable to maintain a balanced diet and drink plenty of water. If the symptoms are severe, treatment should be based on antibiotics. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular routine, take precautions against cold and warmth, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
