Question
A male baby, several months old, has been running a fever recently, with episodes of fever that come and go quickly. He has been eating dinner normally and crying continuously. What should be done if an 11-month-old baby has a fever of 38.5?
Answer
It’s best to combine physical cooling methods and check a blood routine. Fever episodes can come and go, so if the temperature is below 38.5, you can take fever-reducing medication. Recurring fever is a characteristic that won’t cause any harm. It’s important to suppress it promptly. Physical cooling methods can be combined, such as using fever-reducing patches, taking a warm bath, and more. Symptomatic medication with fever-reducing effects is sufficient for the time being. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain regular schedules, avoid smoking and drinking, and increase daily exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
