Question
How do I deal with a child who has a recurring fever?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to determine the cause of the child’s fever so that treatment can be targeted. Observe if the child has symptoms such as a stuffy nose, runny nose, cough, sore throat, nausea, or vomiting, and it’s best to have a doctor examine them and conduct a routine blood test. If the body temperature is around 38 degrees Celsius and there are no other symptoms, physical cooling (cooling) methods can be used, and the child should be encouraged to drink warm water in moderate amounts. If a child has an unexplained fever, it’s also possible that they have pediatric roseola.
