Question
What should parents do when a child has a fever of 39 degrees?
Answer
When a child has a fever reaching 39 degrees, parents should immediately take them to the hospital for a full medical examination. Follow the doctor’s advice for appropriate treatment. Before seeing a doctor, do not give the child any fever-reducing medication on your own, as this may disrupt the doctor’s assessment of the cause. Children’s respiratory system diseases can be caused by various factors. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including possible gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious to prevent their child from developing picky eating or fussy eating habits, ensuring that the child receives a balanced diet.
