Question
The girl is 12 years old, and recently she has been experiencing body heat and pain. She doesn’t know what’s wrong. What should be done for a fever of 39 degrees?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to identify the cause of the fever. Then, treat the symptoms accordingly. Firstly, it’s important to ensure adequate hydration and to coordinate some physical treatments. Monitor the temperature to see if there is a downward trend. If not, immediate oral antipyretic medication may be required, and in necessary cases, hospital intravenous treatment should be sought. Pay close attention to any changes in body temperature. Additionally, apart from treatment, patients should maintain a regular lifestyle, take good care of themselves against the cold, consume light and soft foods in daily meals, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water. Good living habits are also helpful in preventing the occurrence of diseases.
