What Medication Should a 2-Year-Old Child Take for Repeated Fever of 38 Degrees?

Question

A 2-year-old child has been suffering from a fever of 38 degrees for about 4 days, with good spirits, and has not been treated. What fever-reducing medication should be taken?

Answer

For a child’s fever, it is recommended to combine medication for temperature reduction with physical cooling methods. Under no circumstances should any medication be administered without the diagnosis and guidance of a doctor. If the fever is below 38 degrees, consider using physical cooling methods such as wiping the body with warm towels and drinking plenty of water. If the fever exceeds 38 degrees, then the use of fever-reducing medication should be under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, nausea and vomiting caused by long-term use of medication usually resolves on its own after stopping the medication.
