Question
How to treat fever in children when it comes and goes?
Answer
It is recommended to observe the duration of the child’s fever and whether it is accompanied by other symptoms. To determine the cause of the fever, routine blood tests can be conducted. In terms of treatment, clothing should be adjusted according to temperature changes, and adequate fluid intake and rest should be maintained. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, medication to reduce fever can be considered; if it is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods such as warm water wiping or warm water bath can be adopted. If the fever persists for more than three days and oral medication is ineffective, intravenous fluid therapy is recommended.
