Question
How should one deal with a child’s high fever?
Answer
When a child’s body temperature rises sharply, it may lead to seizure-like symptoms. In such cases, immediate cooling measures should be taken, such as using lukewarm water or alcohol to wipe the body to promote heat dissipation. If the high fever is due to inflammation, antibiotic treatment for anti-inflammatory purposes is required. At the same time, children should be kept warm to prevent the exacerbation of symptoms. A light diet is recommended, and after the condition stabilizes, the cause of the high fever should be identified and treated accordingly. Whether it’s intramuscular injection or the use of sedatives, it should be done in accordance with the professional advice of a physician.
