What to do if an adult has a fever of 38.2 degrees

Adults with a fever of 38.2°C are not considered to have a high fever and are treated with physical cooling or medication of the Chinese type. First of all, you need to drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C to help strengthen the body’s resistance and promote the healing of the disease. You can also use warm water to wipe the patient’s skin all over the body, especially the armpits, groin, neck, palms and feet, and wipe for a slightly longer period of time to reduce the fever. You can also take Chinese medicine to reduce fever, such as antelope horn granules, black bean curd and clear fever granules or cold and fever granules, which are more effective in reducing low fever and have relatively fewer side effects. If you feel uncomfortable, you can also put fever patches on your forehead, neck, palms and feet to relieve the discomfort caused by fever. If the above methods of reducing fever do not work, you need to go to the hospital for a specific examination to find out the cause of the disease for treatment.
