A child’s fever is a common occurrence, usually caused by a cold. Since their thermoregulatory center is not fully developed, they are more susceptible to external influences and temperature fluctuations. It is generally recommended that if the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods such as using alcohol to wipe the body or with warm water to wash the face and forehead can be adopted. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, consider giving the child ibuprofen suspension or naproxen. It is advised to use antipyretics under a doctor’s guidance and to pay attention to any other symptoms the child may have. If the situation does not improve, it is important to take the child to see a doctor promptly.
When a child has a fever, apply a cool, damp towel to the forehead or use ice wrapped in a dry towel to cool the head, neck, armpits, and groin. Simultaneously, use alcohol to wipe the body to lower the temperature. If there are signs of cold limbs or goosebumps, switch to wiping the limbs with lukewarm water until they warm up. For children with a history of high fever and convulsions, add calming medication. If transportation is difficult, perform emergency treatment at home first before deciding whether to go to the hospital.
