Question
How to treat persistent high fever in children?
Answer
Fever in children is a common occurrence, usually caused by a cold. Since the child’s temperature regulation center is not fully developed, they are more susceptible to external influences, leading to temperature fluctuations. If the child’s temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to first adopt physical cooling methods, such as using alcohol to wipe the body, or wiping the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, consider administering ibuprofen suspension or naproxen. It is advisable for parents to follow the doctor’s guidance during treatment and observe other symptoms in the child.
