Question
My child’s body temperature is unstable; when they are feverish, it reaches 37.4 degrees. How should I handle this?
Answer
A body temperature of 37.4 degrees in children is generally still within the normal range, and it is not recommended to use fever-reducing medication immediately. First, closely monitor the child’s mental state and other symptoms. If the child is in good spirits and has no other abnormal symptoms, no immediate treatment is needed. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention immediately and use appropriate medication as prescribed by the doctor to avoid delaying the condition. During treatment, pay special attention to the child’s diet and warmth.
