If a child has a fever at night with a temperature below 38.5℃, applying a cooling patch to the forehead or using warm water to wipe areas such as the neck, armpits, and groin can help the body dissipate heat. If the temperature exceeds 38.5℃, fever-reducing medications, such as ibuprofen suspension, may be used under the guidance of a doctor.
