Question
My baby is five months old and has been experiencing intermittent high fevers. The baby’s evening meal is normal, but they keep crying and being restless. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
A fever of 39.9°C in a baby requires immediate attention. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly and undergo routine blood tests to rule out bacterial infections. If the fever persists, it may be considered a case of infantile rash illness. Encourage the baby to drink warm water to promote metabolism, and adjust clothing according to weather changes. In daily life, maintain a balanced diet, engage in moderate aerobic exercise to strengthen the body, and maintain a cheerful mood, which can help boost immunity and speed up recovery.
