A temperature measurement of 38.7 degrees is recommended for oral antipyretic medication. This is because this temperature is usually accompanied by more pronounced discomfort, possibly nausea, vomiting, or headache, general muscle aches and pains, and in some cases, pains in the joints as well. Therefore, oral antipyretic medication is recommended at this temperature to bring the body temperature down to the normal range, to prevent the body from sustaining a relatively high temperature, which may lead to greater physical exertion or even dehydration, and to relieve these clinical symptoms. So this temperature is generally recommended for oral antipyretic drugs. However, if at this temperature, the body does not feel any discomfort, the patient has tolerated this temperature frequently in the past, and based on past experience, the body temperature is likely to drop to normal within the last hour or two, it is possible to temporarily skip antipyretic drugs for now. Another scenario where no antipyretic medication is given is when the temperature is measured at 38.7 degrees, but the patient is seen to be sweating slightly, which also indicates that the temperature is in a decreasing phase, so you can continue to observe the change in temperature. If the temperature can drop to normal, it is not necessary to take it, but if the temperature is maintained at this temperature, it is actually recommended to take oral antipyretics.
