Girls, the child has a temperature of 38.5, I'm bringing it down to 37.7, he coughs and reads. Called a doctor home, but they said nothing, I wanted to take him to the hospital, but I refused because if you get sick in the hospital, what will happen? They told me to go to our polyclinic. Naturally, with a child who has a fever, I can't go. Besides, they didn't say anything about giving water to bring down the temperature every 6-8 hours. I'm just amazed by our medicine.
