Question
How to handle a child’s sudden fever?
Answer
When a child suddenly develops a fever, parents should first observe the child’s condition and provide appropriate care. If the temperature does not exceed 39 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be tried, such as using warm water to wipe the body and lowering the environmental temperature. However, if the temperature rises above 39 degrees Celsius, immediate medication treatment should be administered, and medical attention should be sought if necessary. Moreover, parents should also pay attention to the child’s diet and fluid intake to maintain body hydration and energy supply.
