Hello, if a child has a fever, active antipyretic treatment should be provided to prevent sustained high temperatures from causing brain damage and irreversible consequences. Treatment may include the use of fever-reducing patches and aspirin enteric-coated tablets. Additionally, the child's skin can be wiped with alcohol or warm water, and the child should drink plenty of warm water, stay warm to avoid getting chilled, and have their temperature monitored. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, antipyretic treatments such as ibuprofen, a fever-reducing and pain-relieving medication, may be used. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
