How to Lower a Child’s Temperature at 37.5 Degrees Celsius

When a child’s fever reaches 37.5 degrees Celsius, it is generally recommended to use physical cooling methods such as wiping the body with alcohol or washing the face and forehead with warm water, as long as the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius. If the temperature rises above 38 degrees Celsius, consider giving the child a dose of ibuprofen suspension or naproxen for fever reduction. For premature infants, since their immune systems are not fully developed, parents should be particularly vigilant when they show signs of fever and promptly take them to see a doctor. Additionally, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment. If the child’s condition does not improve or if other symptoms appear, it is important to take them to the hospital immediately.
