Question
How should I handle a two-year-old child with a fever?
Answer
When your child has a fever, you can initially take some home treatment measures, such as wiping their forehead, limbs, and armpits with alcohol to help lower their temperature. However, to ensure your child’s health and safety, it is recommended that you immediately take them to see a doctor to determine the cause of the fever. Fever can be a symptom of many diseases, including infections, connective tissue diseases, or malignant tumors. It is not advisable to give your child any medication without a doctor’s diagnosis.
