Fever in children is a common occurrence, usually caused by the common cold. Since the temperature regulation center in children is not fully developed, they are more susceptible to external environmental influences, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. It is generally recommended that if the body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used first, such as wiping the body with alcohol or using warm water to wipe the face and forehead. If the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can be considered.
