Question
What Temperature Counts as a Fever in Children?
Answer
It is generally recommended that children with a body temperature exceeding 38 degrees Celsius should take antipyretic medication. Physical cooling methods, such as alcohol rubs or wiping the face with warm water, can be adopted. If the body temperature is above 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can be considered. It is suggested to take pediatric paracetamol and vitamin C tablets, as well as pediatric cough syrup with expectorant. A light diet is recommended, and it is advisable to avoid using drugs with significant side effects.
