Question
Why do children often have low-grade fevers?
Answer
Children often get fevers due to colds, as their temperature regulation center is not fully developed, making them more sensitive to external influences and prone to temperature fluctuations. Generally, if the body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, such as wiping the body with alcohol or washing the face with warm water. If the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, you can consider giving them ibuprofen suspension or naproxen for fever reduction. At the same time, closely monitor the child’s condition changes, and take them to the hospital for a check-up in a timely manner to ensure appropriate treatment.
