Disease description:
My child developed a fever at 11 PM, accompanied by general weakness. What are the nursing measures for children with fever?

The nursing measures for children's fever mainly include the following points:
1. Physical cooling: When a child's body temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, such as applying warm, damp towels to areas with dense blood vessels like the soles of the feet, palms, and armpits, or applying fever patches to the forehead to promote heat dissipation.
2. Medication: If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is recommended to use antipyretic medications such as ibuprofen or paracetamol under a doctor's guidance to control the fever.
3. Hydration: During fever, children tend to lose body water easily; parents should encourage the child to drink more water to prevent dehydration.
4. Nutritional support: Provide light and easily digestible food to ensure balanced nutrition and enhance the child's immunity.
5. Maintaining warmth and heat dissipation: Adjust clothing according to the weather and the child's comfort level, avoiding excessive bundling that may hinder heat dissipation.
Parents should closely monitor changes in the child's condition and seek medical attention promptly if necessary.
