Question
My child is 5 years old and had a slight fever when he woke up this morning, with a temperature of 37 degrees. He has no other symptoms, just a low-grade fever. Just now, I measured his temperature, and it’s 39 degrees. I want to ask the doctor what’s going on. Should I give him paracetamol for the fever?
