Question
How is the treatment of a child with a fever at Cixi Second People’s Hospital?
Answer
Fever in children can be caused by various reasons, including infections, connective tissue diseases, and malignant tumors. When dealing with a child’s fever, physical methods such as alcohol sponge baths can be used to lower the temperature, while the cause should be identified. Medication should not be rushed until the cause is confirmed. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory system disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression measures, and maintain good hygiene habits. Children need a balanced diet and should avoid spicy, cold foods.
