Question
What should I do when my daughter frequently has a fever?
Answer
Your child may have a fever due to the common cold or other diseases such as encephalitis, pneumonia, or tonsillitis. You can first use physical methods to help cool your child down, such as taking a warm bath or wiping the body with warm water. For colds, you can treat the fever with medications like Merck, ibuprofen suspension, or fever-reducing patches. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up to find out the cause of the fever so that timely treatment can be provided and prevent the condition from worsening. Additionally, children who frequently have fevers may be due to weaker resistance, making them more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections leading to internal inflammation.
