What Should You Do If a Nine-Month-Old Baby Has a Fever for Three Days?

Question

The nine-month-old baby has been running a fever continuously, with intermittent spikes and dips, without any other apparent discomforts, such as constant crying or fussiness. What should I do?

Answer

You can give the baby a warm bath, encourage them to drink plenty of warm water, and cover them with a blanket to assist in dissipating heat. Use a dry towel to wipe away sweat and ensure the environment remains cool and dry. There is no immediate need for medical attention; continue to provide the baby with warm water, and they should recover after rest. During the treatment, maintain a healthy diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, engage in moderate exercise to promote physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections.
