Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
When a child has a fever at night, parents can take the following measures:
1. If the child's temperature is below 38.5°C, try physical cooling methods such as applying a wet towel to the forehead, keeping the indoor air well-ventilated, and avoiding overdressing the child.
2. If the temperature is high, administer fever-reducing medication such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen under a doctor's guidance. Seek medical attention promptly if the child's fever persists or if other severe symptoms develop.
