How to manage a baby’s fever?

Learn about medication and methods for dealing with a baby’s fever.

When a baby has a fever, first check if the room temperature is too high and ensure the child drinks plenty of water. Consider physical cooling methods, such as using a damp cloth to cool the forehead, or wiping the head, armpits, and limbs with a warm, damp cloth. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can give the child a fever-reducing medicine, but be mindful of the different drug usage methods and dosages. Additionally, maintain a comfortable room temperature, avoid dressing the child in too many clothes to facilitate heat dissipation.

When a baby has a fever, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment. If the fever is caused by a viral infection, avoid using antibiotics arbitrarily. If it is caused by a bacterial infection, the doctor will prescribe the appropriate antibiotic. If a baby’s body temperature exceeds 38°C, it should be considered a high fever and special attention is needed.

It is not recommended to directly apply a towel wrapped in ice to a baby’s head when they have a fever, as the cold towel may cause convulsions. It is suggested to use a warm towel and to give the child plenty of water to drink. If there are symptoms of a cold, you can take cold and anti-inflammatory medication, and monitor the child’s blood count. You can use a fever-reducing patch to lower the body temperature.

The baby’s fever fluctuates, dropping with medication but soon rising again. After taking the fever-reducing medicine twice today, the temperature is now 39.3°C, with hiccups and a slight cough.
