Patient's question:
Female, 10 years old, my child has always had poor physical health. She often gets fever and colds. Now I want to know what to do if a child has a fever of 39 degrees.Doctor's answer:
The current condition of the child is already very severe with high fever. It is necessary to use antipyretic medication as soon as possible to reduce body temperature. At this time, it is important to give the child plenty of fluids and consider warm water bathing. Over-the-counter children's cold medicine and fever-reducing drugs can also be used for treatment.Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at a reputable Grade-A hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular sleep schedules, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
