Question
At what temperature should children use fever-reducing patches?
Answer
When a child’s body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing patches can be used to help lower the temperature. However, these patches only provide mild fever reduction. If the temperature continues to rise or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical assistance immediately. In addition, there are many causes of fever, with the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, and others. It is not recommended to self-medicate with fever-reducing drugs without determining the cause.
