Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
A child having a fever is a common occurrence, usually caused by a cold. Since a child's thermoregulatory center is not yet fully developed, it is easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, as medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods should be the primary approach, such as applying alcohol for a body rub, and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken.
