What to do if your child has a fever of 41℃

When a child has a fever of 41 degrees Celsius, he or she should be given antipyretic medication immediately. The commonly used antipyretic medications include ibuprofen suspension or acetaminophen suspension, which can be combined with physical cooling methods to gradually reduce the body temperature. Children with high fever are prone to febrile convulsions and need to be actively treated with antipyretic drugs to prevent their body temperature from continuing to rise when it exceeds 38.5°C. The cause of high fever is mostly caused by bacterial infection or viral infection, so you need to check your child’s blood routine to identify the specific pathogen and choose sensitive antibiotics for treatment. When coughing and phlegm symptoms are accompanied by coughing and phlegm, the child should be treated with drugs to clear heat and resolve phlegm, commonly used drugs such as pediatric Magan granules and pediatric cough and phlegm granules.
