Question

Can children eat apples when they have a fever?

Answer

When a child’s fever reaches or exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can consider giving them antipyretic medication such as Shugan Granules, Zaixin, or Merck. These medications can help reduce the fever. However, if the fever is below 38 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to use physical methods of cooling, such as wiping the palms and soles of the feet with alcohol, or applying a cool towel to the forehead, and ensuring the child drinks plenty of water.
