Question
What should I do if my child has a fever for two days, with the temperature consistently around 38.2 degrees?
Answer
Fever can be a symptom of viral or bacterial infection. It is advisable for parents to use physical cooling methods, such as applying a damp cloth to the child’s forehead, or allowing the child to wear light clothing to facilitate heat dissipation. Furthermore, make sure the child drinks plenty of water to replenish body fluids. If the fever persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. In terms of diet, maintain a balanced intake and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement various vitamins and minerals. At the same time, avoid picky eating or fussy eating habits and develop good eating habits.
