Fever may be caused by infection, connective tissue disease, or malignant tumors. Do not rush to take medication before the exact cause is identified. Additionally, since the nasal mucosa of children with upper respiratory tract infections is already inflamed, inhaling dry air may make them feel more uncomfortable and exacerbate coughing. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain indoor humidity by using a humidifier, hanging wet towels, mopping the floor with water, or placing a basin of water in the room to increase humidity.
When a child has a persistent fever at home, you can try physical cooling methods, such as using warm water to wipe or alcohol to rub the armpits, neck, and groin areas. Also, make sure the child drinks plenty of water or uses fever-reducing patches. May your child recover soon.
