An increase in body temperature is the first sign that a pathological process has begun in the body. It is not recommended to lower the temperature to 38.5, because at this time the immune system is activated, producing antibodies - protective protein compounds of the blood plasma.

If the temperature rises above the indicated mark, it is worth taking an antipyretic (based on paracetamol or ibuprofen) in the form of tablets or syrups. If these methods of eliminating heat do not help to reduce the temperature at home, then you need to call an ambulance. This is especially relevant if a small child has a high temperature, there is a greater risk of developing complications with fever. A long-term increase in temperature is harmful to the human body, the load on the heart, blood vessels, and brain increases. If your child is sick, come to the "Mother's House" polyclinic.
