Answer
The normal body temperature for a child is between 36.9℃ and 37.5℃. Generally speaking, if the body temperature exceeds the basic temperature by more than 1℃, it can be considered a fever. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, there is no need to take antipyretic medicine or injections, and the child should be given plenty of water. Please note the environmental temperature. Avoid dressing the child too warmly to facilitate heat dissipation. You can use a towel soaked in cold water around 20 degrees Celsius, squeeze out excess water, and cover it on the forehead, changing every 4 minutes. Alternatively, use a damp towel to wipe the child’s head, armpits, and limbs. Currently, physical cooling is the main approach, ensuring the child drinks plenty of water, keeping the indoor temperature comfortable, and not dressing the child too warmly.
