Question

Parents describe their child having a high fever of 39 degrees or above and ask for advice on how to relieve it.

Answer

The doctor responds that, based on the parent’s description, the child may have infant and toddler rash fever. They recommend drinking plenty of water to promote sweating and detoxification, and maintaining a light diet. The doctor explains that this condition is self-limiting and does not require antibiotics. It only needs enhanced care and symptomatic treatment, which should lead to improvement within a few days.
