Temperature threshold for severe antipyretic

anonymously, about a boy, 1 year

The child is 3.5 years old. Temperature 39.5 Is there a set temperature threshold when it is necessary to apply severe antipyretic?

Answers Korneev Vladislav Igorevich

pediatrician, neurologist

Hello! It is not recommended to churn 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, doctors will assess the condition of the child and give the necessary recommendations, if necessary, will be hospitalized.

Information provided for reference purposes. Do not self-medicate. At the first symptoms of the disease, consult a doctor.
