Question
How should parents handle a 13-month-old child who experiences a recurring fever after suffering from an upper respiratory infection?
Answer
If a child’s fever is below 35 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods such as taking a warm bath or wiping the body with warm water should be used. When the temperature is below 39 degrees, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be taken in appropriate amounts. Additionally, the child should be given plenty of water to drink and continue taking the medication prescribed by the doctor. Full recovery may take several days, and the condition will gradually improve.
