Question
A 17-month-old child has a fever and has been crying frequently lately. Medical examination has not found the cause, and advice is sought on how to handle it.
Answer
Alcohol wipe bathing can be used to help reduce the fever, and further investigation into the cause of the fever is recommended. Fever may be caused by infection, connective tissue disease, or malignant tumors, so it is important to first identify the cause rather than rush into medication. If diagnosed with bronchitis-induced cough, consider visiting a respiratory department for antibiotic treatment and take decongestant expectorant medication in conjunction.
