Question
How much fever-reducing medicine should a 6-year-old take?
Answer
For a 6-year-old, if fever-reducing medication is needed, it’s recommended to first use alcohol-based body wipes to help lower the temperature, and then identify the cause of the fever. Fever can be due to infections or other reasons, such as connective tissue diseases or malignant tumors. It is not advisable to rush into using medication without determining the cause. Severe cases may affect the child’s health and daily activities.
