Recently, my child has had a cold since last night, with nasal congestion and sneezing; runny nose. Today, they developed a fever, reaching a high of 38°C, without taking any measures. No tests were conducted. Results: What should I do?Doctor's answer:
There are many fever-reducing medications available for children. Medication treatment can be chosen under the guidance of a doctor. Children usually have low fevers not exceeding 38.5 degrees. It is recommended to drink more water and use physical cooling methods. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it is best to use some fever-reducing medication.
