What to Do When a Child Has a Persistent High Fever?

When a child has a persistent high fever, parents can take the following measures:

Use fever-reducing patches or wet towels to cool the forehead
If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, consider giving the child a pediatric fever reducer, such as ibuprofen suspension
At the same time, pay attention to the child’s other symptoms, such as whether there are coughs, runny nose, and other cold symptoms
Check blood routine to assist in diagnosis and treatment
Most importantly, find the cause and treat it accordingly
