Hello,
With the question “Should a fever of 37.8 degrees be used antipyretic? ", the pharmacist answered as follows:
Use antipyretic drugs only when fever is over 38.5 degrees Celsius, dose 10-15mg/kg/time for Paracetamol, 4-6 hours apart if fever is still above 38.5 degrees. If your condition improves, visit a medical facility, the doctor will examine you and point out the most useful treatment for you.
If you still have questions about whether a fever of 37.8 degrees should be used to reduce fever, you can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
