Fever in children is typically caused by respiratory infections. Mild fever does not require the use of antipyretic drugs. It is recommended that you first perform physical cooling by wiping the child’s forehead, neck, armpits, elbow creases, palms, soles, groin, and perineal areas with alcohol or rubbing alcohol. If the temperature continues to rise, acetaminophen or nimesulide can be given orally, along with pediatric anti-inflammatory and anti-cold medications.

If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it is suggested to choose Min Gong Zai Xin for treatment.
