Question
Why does a 7-year-old child’s fever fluctuate up and down?
Answer
It is generally suggested that when a child’s body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees, physical cooling methods can be employed, such as using alcohol to wipe and warm water to wash the face and forehead. If the temperature is above 38 degrees, consider taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen suspension or naproxen for fever reduction.
