The child has a fever of 38 degrees Celsius. At this time, you can not rush to medication. You can first take physical cooling methods, such as ice cold compress, antipyretic paste, warm water bath, etc., and monitor your body temperature. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can give antipyretic ibuprofen, acetaminophen and other drug treatments.
