Question
Dear, my daughter is 8 years old. She has a fever recently and says she has body pain, but I don’t know what’s wrong. How should I handle a child’s fever and convulsion?
Answer
When a child has a fever, you can first give them fever-reducing medicine and place a fever-reducing patch on their forehead. Then, it’s important to see a doctor because a professional diagnosis is necessary to find the cause of the fever. For abdominal pain, you can buy symptomatic medication. In addition to treatment, patients need to maintain a regular lifestyle, take good care of themselves against the cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water. Good living habits also help prevent the occurrence of diseases.
