Question
A male baby, several months old, has been running a fever recently, with the fever coming back quickly after it subsides. He has been eating dinner normally but keeps crying. What should be done when a six-month-old baby has a fever?
Answer
Fever in babies of this age is mostly due to respiratory infections, which can be self-resolving. You can closely observe the baby’s mental state. If he seems in good spirits and there are no other accompanying symptoms, you can completely treat him at home with oral fever-reducing medication. This fever requires the use of oral fever-reducing medication. In daily life, patients should balance their physical nutrition, do more aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physique and speed up recovery.
