Question
Is a child’s temperature of 38 degrees Celsius normal?
Answer
When a child’s temperature reaches 38 degrees Celsius, it is generally recommended to use physical cooling methods, such as wiping the body with alcohol, washing the face and forehead with warm water. However, if the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, consider giving the child ibuprofen suspension or naproxen. Parents should remain calm and take their child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment promptly, and administer appropriate medication under the doctor’s guidance. Children have weaker resistance and are prone to pediatric surgical diseases, so special attention should be paid to related symptoms.
