Question
How to handle a child’s high fever?
Answer
Considering your child’s condition, it may be due to an acute upper respiratory infection causing the high fever. If the temperature is below 39 degrees, it is important to seek timely fever reduction treatment to prevent brain damage. Shivering is the body’s response when the fever rises. Suggestions: You can first use a damp towel to protect the brain by covering the head, and also raise the body temperature at the same time. You can also apply symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as Nimesulide granules or a pediatric fever-reducing suppository for oral administration. You can also treat with Amoxicillin granules and Sanjiu Cold Remedy granules. Make sure to let your child drink plenty of light saltwater. If the high fever persists, it is important to seek immediate medical attention for intramuscular fever reduction and intravenous fluid therapy. Wishing your child a quick recovery!
