Question
Lately, my boss has said I’m not in good spirits, which is affecting my work performance. In fact, I don’t want it to be this way. I often have trouble sleeping at night and sometimes feel palpitations, which are not very comfortable. I’m worried that if the condition worsens, it might affect my health and work. What’s the matter if a child has a persistent fever of 39 degrees?
Answer
A persistent fever of 39 degrees in children is usually caused by a cold. Because their thermoregulatory center is not fully developed, they are more susceptible to external influences, leading to temperature fluctuations. It is generally recommended that if the body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees, no fever-reducing medicine is needed. Physical methods of cooling can be adopted instead, such as using alcohol to wipe the body, wiping the face or forehead with warm water. If the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees, you can consider giving the child ibuprofen suspension or naproxen.
