Generally speaking, armpit temperature exceeds 37.4 degrees Celsius, and the temperature fluctuates more than 1 degree Celsius in a day. We call it fever. When the child's temperature is lower than 38.5 degrees Celsius, we generally do not advocate the use of antipyretics, mainly symptomatic treatment. Drink warm water to rehydrate, and wipe the child's body with a wet towel to help reduce fever. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can give the child some antipyretic and analgesic drugs. Common is Merrill Lynch, Tylenol, etc., must be used under the guidance of professional doctors, the most important thing is to clarify the cause of fever and actively treat the primary disease.
