Question
After the child’s body temperature dropped to below 35 degrees within two hours of taking half a packet of Nimulide granules following a high fever of 40 degrees, the parents were very anxious and inquired about what they should do.
Answer
Fever in pediatrics has complex and diverse causes, including both infectious and non-infectious factors, with infections being the most common, such as the common cold. When faced with a high fever, it is crucial to identify the cause and adopt appropriate treatment. Excessive high fever may lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the body temperature, usually through medication and physical cooling methods. It is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a doctor.
