Patient's question:
Female, 4 years old. My baby was normal during the day, but suddenly started having a fever at night. I'm very worried and want to know how to handle high fever and fainting in children.Doctor's answer:
Children with high fever experiencing fainting or convulsions is relatively common. To prevent such situations, it is essential to promptly lower the child's temperature when they have a fever. If the fever is below 38.5°C, an ice pack or fever-reducing patches can be used, accompanied by taking fever-reducing medication or using a towel to wipe the child's body to achieve the cooling effect. If the low-grade fever persists, it should be taken seriously, and the child should be taken to the hospital for follow-up to identify the cause and receive treatment.
