Question
The child’s body temperature is low after fever reduction, even when covered with blankets, and they still feel cold. I don’t know the reason. I’m asking about the doctor’s method for dealing with high body temperature after fever reduction.
Answer
It is common for children to have a high body temperature after taking fever-reducing medication, as the medicine causes sweating and releases heat through the skin. At this time, you should give the child plenty of water to drink, be careful to keep them warm, and avoid catching a cold. If clothing gets wet from sweating, change it promptly. The body temperature usually returns to normal within a few hours. Continue to monitor the child’s condition, and seek medical attention immediately if there are any other discomforts.
