Question
The child has been feverish for two months, with body temperature fluctuating between 37.5℃ and 39℃, and the effect of intravenous treatment is not significant. Seeking a method to quickly bring down the fever.
Answer
The normal body temperature for a healthy child is between 36.9℃ and 37.5℃. If the body temperature exceeds the baseline by more than 1℃, it is considered a fever. If the temperature is below 38.5℃, it is recommended to use physical methods for cooling, such as drinking plenty of water, wearing fewer clothes, using damp towels to cool the forehead, armpits, and limbs. Avoid using fever-reducing medicine and needles. Pay attention to whether the room temperature is too high and keep the indoor environment cool.
