Question
A 3-year-old and 13-day-old girl baby has a fever of 37.8 degrees. How should it be handled? She possibly got fever from catching a cold, her body temperature was measured at 37.8 degrees at one o’clock in the afternoon, and after applying a fever-reducing patch, her body temperature was still 37.8 degrees when re-measured at five o’clock in the afternoon. She has been drinking warm water, and her forehead feels normal when touched. She has a stuffy nose and has never had a fever before.
Answer
There are many causes of pediatric fever, which can be categorized into infectious and non-infectious, with infectious fever being the most common. For fever, it is first necessary to determine the cause and treat accordingly. High body temperature may lead to pediatric febrile convulsions, so it is necessary to lower the body temperature, which can be done through medication and physical methods. Specific medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
