What should be done for high fever in children?

Patient's question:

My child has been doing it since the day before yesterday, and the high temperature hasn't gone down. They are taking medicine and using physical cooling methods, but no matter what method is used to lower the temperature, it doesn't work. What should I do about the high fever in children? I'm afraid that if my child keeps talking, there will be a lot of trouble. Are there any other more effective methods of treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Children with high fever are often considered to be due to lack of attention to warmth in recent days, leading to upper respiratory tract infections as the main cause, but other viral infections cannot be ruled out. It is best to seek further medical examination in a specialized hospital. Currently, you can also choose to take some fever-reducing medication. Specific medication should follow medical advice, and physical cooling methods can also be used. It is important to drink more warm water in recent days.
