Question
My child has been very disobedient lately, crying and fussing non-stop. Even after going to the hospital and undergoing checks, there’s no improvement. What is the situation when a child has a high fever with pale lips?
Answer
It is generally recommended that if the fever does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, there is no need to take antipyretic medication. Physical cooling (cooling) methods can be used primarily, such as using alcohol to wipe the body, washing the face with warm water, and cooling the forehead. If the fever exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, it is usually appropriate to take ibuprofen suspension or naproxen. There are many causes for respiratory system issues in children, so if the child is diagnosed with pediatric respiratory system problems, parents should actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow their children to develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
