Question
How often should children take fever-reducing medicine?
Answer
It’s generally recommended to take children’s fever reducing medicine every 4 hours. However, fever can be caused by various reasons such as pneumonia, respiratory infections, and acute gastroenteritis. It’s best to go to the hospital for further examination and diagnosis before starting symptomatic treatment. Avoid taking fever-reducing medicine without a proper diagnosis, as this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.
