Because Mrs. Geoffrey was quite worried, the family doctor carefully examined Andrew. Suddenly, the doctor said, "The child has a fever of 37.8 degrees, a slight fever."
Mrs. Geoffrey, holding Andrew, asked anxiously, "Is that serious? What should we do?"
Rebecca Quentin also asked, "Can we use a fever patch?"
Rebecca Quentin referred to some information she had read in child-rearing books, saying that a normal temperature for infants and young children is between 36 and 37 degrees. If it exceeds 37 degrees, you should use a fever patch to reduce the temperature, and if it rises above 38 degrees, you should go to the hospital for treatment.
The doctor replied with a smile, "No need to worry too much, the child has a mild fever. Applying a fever patch should help reduce the fever... Continue to monitor at night, and if the temperature rises, then you should come to the hospital."
