Question

How to treat pediatric high fever?

Answer

The treatment methods for pediatric high fever typically include medication and physical cooling (cooling). If the child has a sore throat along with the fever, the doctor may prescribe some antibiotics to treat the infection. If the child also experiences symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and coughing, further examination may be needed to determine the type of infection and to treat the underlying cause. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet, avoiding greasy foods, and providing easily digestible foods such as yam porridge to help recover health.
