Question
How should one handle a child’s fever and chills?
Answer
The process of fever typically goes through three stages: shivering, high fever, and body temperature drop. During the shivering phase, the body temperature rapidly rises, and it is important to keep warm; during the high fever phase, the body temperature reaches its peak and remains for a period, at which time one should maintain body warmth; during the temperature drop phase, the body temperature gradually returns to normal, and appropriate heat dissipation should be done. Throughout this process, one should closely monitor the child’s condition and seek medical assistance if necessary.
