Question
At what body temperature can I use fever-reducing patches for my child?
Answer
If a baby’s body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, it is recommended to use fever-reducing patches in addition to drinking plenty of water to help lower the temperature. If the baby shows symptoms of infection, it may be necessary to use both anti-infection and antiviral medications simultaneously. It is crucial to maintain adequate fluid intake when dealing with fever. In your situation, you can try using alcohol wipes for cooling, while also identifying the cause of the fever, as it can be caused by various factors such as infection, connective tissue disease, or malignant tumors. Do not rush to use medication before determining the cause.
