Question
An 8-year-old girl had a normal temperature in the morning. Her temperature ranged from 37.1 to 37.3 degrees before going to bed from afternoon to evening.
Answer
Generally, for babies, fever-reducing medication can be considered when the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, such as Bupleurum Granules, Zexin, and Merck’s children’s paracetamol syrup. If the fever does not exceed 38 degrees, it is recommended to use physical cooling methods, such as wiping the palms and soles with diluted alcohol, or applying cool towels to the forehead, and drinking plenty of water.
