I am seeking assistance: Are there any methods that can help my daughter recover and stop having high fevers?
Answer
Your child’s fever may be due to the common cold or other diseases such as encephalitis, pneumonia, or tonsillitis. You can first use physical methods to reduce the fever, such as taking a warm bath or wiping her body with warm water. For fevers, you can use medications like Tylenol, ibuprofen suspension, or fever-reducing patches. It is advisable to take your child to the hospital for a detailed examination to find out the cause of the fever and receive timely treatment to avoid the deterioration of the condition. Additionally, frequent fevers may be due to a weaker immune system in children, making them more susceptible to bacterial or viral infections leading to internal inflammation.
