Question
My child has a fever and has improved after taking medication, but the fever returns when the medication is stopped. I would like to inquire about the correct way to apply the fever-reducing patch and whether it is suitable for lowering the fever.
Answer
Given that the child has a fever, it is not recommended to use medication arbitrarily. Only consider using fever-reducing medication when the body temperature is below 38.5°C. The fever-reducing patch can be placed on the forehead, but it’s best to still monitor the child’s temperature changes and consider using medications such as ibuprofen syrup for treatment. Additionally, the child may have been infected with a virus, and it is recommended to undergo antiviral treatment.
