Managing fever in children involves addressing the underlying cause and providing symptomatic relief. Here are some common approaches: - Antipyretics: Medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen are commonly used to reduce fever. - Hydration: Ensuring the child is well-hydrated is crucial, as fever can lead to increased fluid loss. - Rest: Encouraging rest helps the body fight off infection more effectively. - Medical evaluation: Persistent or very high fevers require a medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
