Question
Should a 10-month-old child take fever medicine at 39 degrees?
Answer
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, with symptoms such as coughing, expectoration, and fever, the measured body temperature does not need to be increased by 0.5 degrees. A temperature over 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can use pediatric paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules for treatment, drink plenty of water, ensure adequate warmth, and in necessary cases, consider intravenous treatment.
