Temperature threshold for serious antipyretics

anonymously, about a boy, 1 year old

The child is 3.5 years old. Temperature 39.5 Is there a set temperature threshold when serious antipyretics should be used?


Hello! It is not recommended to bring down the temperature to 38 degrees. If your child has a temperature of 39.5, then I advise you not to self-medicate, this can only worsen the situation. Call an ambulance, the doctors will assess the child's condition and give the necessary recommendations, if necessary, hospitalize.

The information is provided for reference purposes. Do not self-medicate. At the first symptoms of the disease, see your doctor.
