Question
A parent asks whether fever medication should not be given to a child more than four times a day when the child has a fever.
Answer
Doctors respond that excessive use of fever reducers should be avoided, and they suggest using physical cooling methods to identify the cause of the high fever and treat it promptly. At the same time, doctors remind parents to pay attention to their child’s rest and warmth, avoid overexertion and catching a cold, and wish for the child’s early recovery.
