Question
What should I do if my 5-year-old baby has a fever of 39 degrees?
Answer
Hello, if your child has a fever of 39 degrees, you can consider giving them children’s fever-reducing medicine such as Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen to lower their body temperature. At the same time, taking appropriate anti-inflammatory medicine can also help treat possible infections causing the fever. In addition, maintaining proper warmth and using physical methods like warm water sponge baths, alcohol sponge baths, cold compresses, or hot compresses to help reduce the fever are effective. Please note that these are basic treatment methods. If the child’s condition does not improve or is accompanied by other severe symptoms, it is recommended to consult a professional physician as soon as possible.
