Does a child with chickenpox need to take fever-reducing medication?

Patient's question:

My baby is 3 years old. A few days ago, he kept having high fever repeatedly. His temperature was around 40 degrees Celsius. Later, many rashes also appeared on his body. The hospital examination said it was an emergency. I wanted to give my baby some fever-reducing medicine, but I didn't know if it was necessary. So, I wanted to ask if fever-reducing medicine is needed for roseola?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend, if the temperature keeps rising, you need to use fever-reducing medication. The rash needs topical treatment. It may cause allergic itching, so it's recommended to get tested to determine if there is a viral infection. Use medication reasonably at that time. In the future, pay attention to keeping the child's skin clean and take certain preventive measures for the child. At this time, also pay attention to a reasonable diet.
