Question
Recently, my child has been very disobedient, crying and fussing non-stop. We took them to the hospital for a check-up and nothing was found wrong. I would like to ask, what temperature is considered a fever in children?
Answer
The child might have a cold, usually accompanied by symptoms like coughing, runny nose, and fever. If the body temperature exceeds 37 degrees Celsius, it can be considered a fever. You can give the child children’s paracetamol and ask them to drink plenty of water, and ensure they stay warm. If the situation does not improve, intravenous treatment may be necessary. Additionally, parents should pay attention to their child’s diet, avoid picky eating, maintain good hygiene habits, and cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
