When a child suddenly develops fever due to influenza B, parents should take the following measures: administer antiviral medications such as oseltamivir, and fever-reducing drugs like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, as directed by a physician, to help relieve symptoms. Physical cooling methods, such as applying a damp towel to the forehead, can also be used. Keep the room well-ventilated to improve air circulation, which helps lower indoor temperature and alleviate the child's fever. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention for the child promptly.
