Patient's question:
What should I do if a child has a fever of 38 degrees Celsius? What measures should be taken to quickly and effectively reduce the child's fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, a fever of 38 degrees Celsius does not qualify as a high fever, and you can use physical cooling methods for the baby. Apply fever patches to the baby's forehead, and you can use warm water to wipe the baby's palms, armpits, and soles of the feet. During a cold and fever, it is essential to ensure the baby drinks plenty of fluids and avoid dressing them in excessively thick clothing, especially making sure their head can dissipate heat. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital.
