Question
The child is a 10-year-old girl. The child has always had poor health at home and is prone to fevers and colds. Now, the child has a fever of 39 degrees. How should it be handled?
Answer
The child’s condition is now serious. It is important to use antipyretic medications to lower the temperature, drink plenty of water, consider a wet compress bath, and use children’s cold medicine and fever-reducing medication when necessary. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and the patient needs to visit a regular three-A-grade hospital for systematic and standardized checks to receive appropriate treatment. In addition, the child’s daily routine should maintain regularity, keep warm, eat lightly, ventilate frequently, and drink more hot water.
