Question
What is the normal body temperature for a 10-year-old child?
Answer
It’s advisable to monitor the child’s body temperature. If the child is experiencing nosebleeds, it might be due to heat stroke, and it’s recommended to have a blood platelet test at the hospital. If the platelets are normal, the issue may not be serious. It’s suggested to drink plenty of water and consume plain water, and some traditional Chinese medicine like Lingyang Qingfei Wan can be taken. If you’re in a situation where you need to cool down first, use alcohol to wipe the body and then find out the cause of the fever. There are many causes of fever, with the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, and so on. It’s not advisable to rush into taking medication.
