How to reduce fever in children with roseola infantum
Infantile roseola is an acute febrile exanthematic disease caused by human herpesvirus type 6 or 7. The main clinical manifestation is a sudden high fever, with body temperatures reaching up to 39 degrees Celsius, or even above 40 degrees Celsius. Besides fever, most babies remain relatively alert, but some may experience febrile convulsions, so it is important to manage the fever promptly.
Fever can be reduced by oral antipyretic medications or through rectal administration, commonly using ibuprofen and acetaminophen. These can be repeated every 4-6 hours. Physical cooling methods, such as wiping with warm water or taking a warm bath, can also be used in conjunction with medicinal treatments.
(The use of medications should be under the guidance of a doctor)
