The baby has a fever of 40 degrees Celsius. What should be done now? They have taken medicine, but it hasn't come down. Alcohol has been used to wipe the body.Doctor's answer:
Hello, a child's body temperature of 40 degrees Celsius is considered severe fever, primarily caused by pathogen infection. If the pathogen is not eliminated, the fever may recur. Currently, oral ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be taken to normalize the body temperature. Pay attention to keeping the child warm, drink more water, and it is necessary to go to a formal hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause of the fever and treat it accordingly. Wishing you good health.
