1. Antipyretics are only symptomatic treatment, and the child’s mental state must be observed at the same time. If drowsiness, convulsions, rashes, etc. occur, seek medical attention immediately.

2. There has been a high incidence of influenza recently. If you are accompanied by obvious cough, body aches and other symptoms, you need to consider using specific influenza drugs.

3. Methods such as "covering sweat to reduce fever" and "alcohol bathing" circulated on the Internet have been proven to be harmful, and relevant content refuting the rumors has been forwarded by authoritative media such as CCTV.

Scientific use of medication and rational fever reduction are the keys. It is recommended that parents keep children's antipyretics on hand, have correct medication knowledge, and consult a doctor or pharmacist in case of uncertainty. Remember: the purpose of antipyretics is to make the child comfortable, not simply to lower the body temperature.
