Question
The 10-year-old boy has a sore throat and cough. After taking medication for a day, the cough decreased, but he had a fever of 38 degrees Celsius at night. At 7:40 AM on the third day, his temperature was 37.4 degrees Celsius. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
The child’s condition may be an infection of the respiratory tract, with the fever possibly fluctuating for three to four days. Full recovery usually takes about a week. Parents should ensure the child drinks plenty of fluids and monitor temperature changes. In terms of care, it’s important to allow the child to rest more, maintain a light diet, and take medication as prescribed by a doctor. We look forward to the child’s speedy recovery!
