Question
How should one handle a fever in a child due to heatstroke?
Answer
When a child has a fever due to heatstroke, you can first try using alcohol to wipe down the body to help lower the temperature. Next, it’s important to further identify the cause of the fever. The causes of fever are many, with the most common being infection, but they can also be due to other conditions such as connective tissue diseases or malignant tumors. It is not recommended to administer medication immediately without first determining the cause.
