What Medications Can I Give a Two-Year-Old with a 39-Degree Fever?

Question

Recently, my child has been disobedient and constantly crying. Their body temperature is high at 39 degrees. What medications can I give my two-year-old to reduce the fever?

Answer

The presence of a fever in a child could be due to infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma. It is recommended to use acetaminophen (a fever reducer) and amoxicillin (an antibiotic) for treatment. Additionally, it is important to give your child plenty of water and use warm sponge baths to help reduce the fever. If these methods are not effective or if there is no improvement, further treatment, such as intravenous fluid therapy, may be required. It is advisable to take your child to a hospital for a professional doctor’s examination and diagnosis as soon as possible.
