Question
I have a 4-year-old boy at home who recently had a cold with fever, accompanied by coughing and runny nose, and the condition is recurrent. What should I do if a child has a fever at night?
Answer
For children experiencing these symptoms, it is recommended to monitor their body temperature. When the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical coolingmethods such as cold compresses should be employed. In case of severe symptoms, it is advisable to seek immediate medical attention. Since each child’s condition is different, treatment methods may vary, and it is recommended to visit a professional hospital for examination to determine the appropriate treatment approach.
