What to do if your teenager has a fever of 39 degrees



Adolescents with a fever of 39 ℃ can, depending on their clinical manifestations, first of all, take some measures to lower the body temperature and improve the discomfort caused by fever, including physical hypothermia, medication and attention to strengthening nursing care and so on. Finally, the cause of the disease needs to be treated.

1. Symptomatic treatment

(1) Physical hypothermia: after the teenager has fever, under the condition of good mental state, he can take physical hypothermia to improve the symptoms of fever, such as applying cold water to the forehead or taking a warm bath, and so on.

(2) Medication: Viral and bacterial infections are the most common causes of fever, followed by chronic digestive diseases and autoimmune diseases. Before the cause is clear, the main symptomatic treatment is to give fever-reducing drugs, such as oral ibuprofen suspension, acetaminophen oral solution and so on.

(3) Strengthen nursing care: Fever can lead to dehydration and weakness, so it is necessary to pay attention to replenish more water, and at the same time must pay attention to strengthen the nutrition.

2. Treatment of causes

(1) Fever caused by upper respiratory tract infection can be treated with anti-flu drugs, such as cold and flu granules, compound aminophenolamine capsules and so on.

(2) For fever caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics can be given, such as amoxicillin capsules and so on.

Since there are many causes of fever, if the fever cannot be relieved by symptomatic treatment or persists, it is necessary to go to the regular hospital in time and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
