Question
After the baby received a fever-reducing injection and took fever-reducing medicine this morning, the body temperature was measured at 37.3 degrees two and a half hours later, and then rose to 38.6 degrees at 3 pm. How should I handle this? I urgently need a fever-reduction method.
Answer
When the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it is generally not necessary to use fever-reducing medicine, but instead, one should drink plenty of water and adopt physical cooling methods such as using warm water to wipe or apply on the body, while also ensuring warmth. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, fever-reducing medicine like Children’s Tylenol can be used, but attention must be paid to fluid intake. At the same time, active anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out to Radical Curethe cause of the fever.
