Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what it means when a child has a high fever and pale lips?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, as medication for fever is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be primarily used, such as applying alcohol to the body and washing the face and forehead with warm water.If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can generally be taken. There are many causes of respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits.
Parents should be mindful not to let their children develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
