Question
Recently, my child has a fever and I have used fever-reducing medication, but I am worried about the side effects of the medication on their health. I am asking if there are other safer ways to handle a high fever situation.
Answer
Over-the-counter fever medications can have side effects, but they are generally safe. It is recommended to use them under a doctor’s guidance, combining them with physical cooling methods, and at the same time, pay attention to observing your child’s physical reactions. If you are concerned about medication side effects, consider using methods such as wiping with warm water, reducing clothing, and other ways to help your child cool down.
